No idea about the AWB, but the noise comes from the SR system doing its job
Shifting the sensor around to stabilise the image, you can turn off the SR and the noise will stop

It is controlled from the menu item 'Memory' - this sets the defaults that will be reverted to every time you turn on the camera, and includes White Balance, Drive Mode, flash mode and many others.
You go through the items one by one and tick the options you want to 'hold' in memory to be set when you turn the camera on. So ticking the item 'White Balance' means the memory will retain your previously set white balance ... if its not ticked it will go back each time to the factory default, which in this case is AWB.

Also the k7 does appear to be rather noisy in live view. Is this normal ?
