Clicking freehub ?

My bike has done about 400 miles since I bought it new in February. Recently, I've noticed what I think is a louder clicking sound from the freehub when freewheeling.

Now, I am not sure whether this was there from the start, but it seems to me that it is getting louder. I don't remember it when it was new, but I could be mistaken.

The wheels are Campag Zonda with a Campag Centaur groupset (12-26 cassette)

Any comments gratefully received.

    I just wondered if it naturally gets louder as it wears in?

    Anyone?

    Campag freehubs are known to be really loud.

    Although my Ventos are far louder than my Neutrons.
    I like bikes...

    Thats funny, just noticed today my Shimano freehub sounds louder when freewheeling than it ever did before, it was virtually silent.
    Could it be the warmer weather thinning out the grease inside ?
