thats the solution yep. but remember thats the solution to your specific problem. most people don't mind the noise, and you pedal more than you coast generally. they absolutely have enough grease in them from the factory, the reason they don't add more is because it's less efficient, its more tightly packed and cannot spin as freely because of extra friction. and maybe nominally it costs more money to waste that extra grease. it's quite fascinating actually, there's a perfect balance between too much and too little grease. ceramicspeed have a video about their ceramic sealed cartridge bearings and how adding too much grease requires more watts of energy to overcome so they fine tune the balance between speed and durability. this is in referene to the top level of the sport tho, you and i won't notice the difference, and we get to enjoy the sounds of nature more :)
