Pretty sure your bike comes with Joytech hubs and WTB rim. which is probably not bad but you can treat your ti bike a little better than that, two DT Swiss 350 hub should be a really nice upgrade.
Whipshot comes with DTswiss wheel set, which is one the of major reason I went with this bike. and certainly the $1948 price point is hard to turn down. also I personally prefer the simplicity of 1x drive train. but your bike comes with full R8000 ultegra which should be superb.

Rear wheel hub was loud when freewheeling. VERY loud when the bike was new, but quieted down some after a month or 2.
I disassembled the wheel while taking the spoke protector off and the bearings for the freehub are not sealed and they had very little in the way of grease.
I packed it full of marine grease, reassembled, and it is nearly silent and much smoother than before.
