Sounds -- or rather, *doesn't* sound -- good to me. I'm not a fan of noisy freehubs. Sounds worse than summertime cicadas. It's worse with carbon aero rims. Although I suppose the noise is sorta helpful on the MUP for warning pedestrians. Not that they'd hear anything through their earbuds. But muppet warriors get antsy if they have to slow down for anyone, so the loud ratcheting noise probably reflects their personalities.

Most SunRace freewheels I've ridden are pretty quiet, just a subdued buzz while coasting. Ditto a DT Swiss freehub -- pretty quiet although the ticking is amplified a bit by the wheel's bladed aero spokes and semi-aero aluminum rims. But nowhere near as loud as the bikes most of my friends ride.
