I have a bike with a noisy rear hub and it drives me bonkers. I can't hear myself think when I coast. Its on a cannondale road bike I commute on the highway with and don't coast a ton so I can live with it. On a touring bike I would lose my mind - actually no that's not true I'd just get it replaced ASAP.
On a completely different note enjoy the LHT when you get her on the road. With all the chris king bits it will certainly have some bling factor!
