Desperate? Surely this is exaggeration. It just seems you have a part that you don't like and you don't want to get one that you might like.
I too don't like the noise the rear hub on my new bike makes. But the manufacturer hardly forced me to buy the bike. And I have the option to change it out whenever I care to.
