new keyboard spacebar has odd sound

I just got my new iMac yesterday and have found that all keys sound the same apart from the spacebar which sounds like plastic is underneath each time I hit it, very annoying, could it need replacing or cleaning under the key.

I have searched the forum where people say the spacebar is loud but nothing about odd noise. Also says you cant take off the key otherwise you void warranty which is a bit worrying...

Thanks for the help

I have only had my new iMac for a few weeks now which came with the tiny mini-keyboard (the one without the keypad section) and I haven't noticed the space bar being any louder or different than the other keys. So perhaps yours is not quite put together correctly?
Mine is very quite on all keys.
