The Open Pro is an old design and Mavic is trying to kill their rim business, so they aren't expending any energy on it.
That kind of clicking means low spoke tension and can happen to any wheel. I've never heard a click.
I'm certainly not recommending Open Pros for the OP, but think your comments are off-base. Open Pros have been around a long time, there are some lighter similar rims available but they're more expensive. And this OP discussion is OT.
