Mavic Kysirum Elite rear wheel

I bought a Mavic Kysirum Elite rear wheel on-line. I didn't know it, but the cassette spindle clicks like a ratchet when coasting.
Is there a way to make it quiet?
Do other Mavic Kysirum wheels make that sound? (My old Macv OpenPro was quiet).

i'm not that familiar with ksyrium elites in particular, but some modern freehubs are pretty noisy.

a friend of mine has fulcrum 7s on his training bike (great value wheels btw), when we ride together we usually have a little bit of a race- it's a great psychological weapon for him to sit on my back wheel and for me know that he's there ( and not pedalling) with his moped-like freewheel noise!
