Is it possible to make the bike quiet when not pedalling (a.k.a. coasting)? It's annoying to endure the rattling/ticking sound (like on a roadbike) which seems to serve no purpose...?

I am also interested in a solution.
I think the bike has been manufactured to purposefully make the coasting noise in order to replicate a real road bike i.e. improve 'road feel' (many cycling enthusiasts enjoy the sound of the feehub clicking when freewheeling). I don't know of a way of stopping the noise. If it's at the end of your ride pull hard on the brakes and the wheel will stop spinning thus stopping the noise.
Thanks for replying. I think you are right, and it’s true that pulling the brake….ish mechanism cuts the noise
It would be necessary to change the freehub or to oil it like in this video: m.youtube.com/watch
Does anybody have tried this with the neobike? I am not sure where and how to remove the hub there.
But when I am climbing up a virtual mountain and roll down, pulling the brakes would stop me or not?
In an ideal world
