The sound of a freewheel, along with road vibrations and any other noise will resonate through a frame, no matter what the frame is made out of. I believe Koala's point was that the sound resonates through C/F frames with a different, and somewhat less pleasant sound then aluminum or steel.

Top, I've been swapping out most of the FWs in my fleet for the Shimano 600s, so the sound of the Regina hasn't haunted me in a while. However, yesterday, I took a neighbor's '85/6 Somec around for a spin - I could hardly believe my ears at the very moment I began freewheeling - I had forgotten how utterly noisy those things are.
