If your freehub is in any violation of noise requirements and disclosures required by your government, then you should register a complaint.
However, I think what's in play here is that you, like me have been use to quiet freewheels and freehubs and finally after 50 years of riding bikes got something you don't like. I don't like my noisy freehub. When my hub or wheel is ready for replacement or I decide to get a better wheelset, it'll be on my list to get a quieter freehub.
