Usually when my Pfaff starts sounding a little rough it is either asking for a new needle or the finger on the bobbin is in need of oil. I have a 7550 that is the only place that you oil it.

I don't know how to describe it except to say it sounds kind of 'thunky' if that makes any sense. The question -- is this a normal sound?

It is true, you have to keep it clean, keep the hook oiled and change the needle often.

Have the machine checked. I have 2 Pfaffs and they both have sweet sound. If I start hearing a chunky sound I check for lint buildup and/or dull needle. It is possible the needle is slightly bent. Even a new needle can have a bend in it.
