Sounds like it hasn't been stress relieved: I think the spokes are still wound-up and the noise is them unwinding.
Yes, I'd take it back. The spokes may not unwind evenly, so the tension should be checked.
I'd expect any half-decent mechanic to have done this before giving you the wheel back.

It’s pretty normal for a new or trued wheel to make a few pinging sounds on the first couple of rides. Worry about it if it goes out of true.
Aksium spokes are like iron girders and to get a wheel back from out of true some pretty high tensions might have been used I guess.

I had my rear mavic aksium wheel trued on Wednesday at my LBS.
I have noticed since then the spokes are making a clicking/popping sound, especially noticeable at low speeds.
Should I take the wheel back to the bike shop that trued it?
