You mean it has a noisy ratchet sound? This is just the case with some freewheels. Try another. Shimano are usually quiet. Wayne's is noisy but I prefer that (White Ind?). King are noisy. Mavic are noisy.
Be careful lubing freewheels.. too much or too heavy and you risk sticking the sprung pawls down = bye bye engagement = no forward motion.
