Then it's likely to be the spokes/hub/bearings/rim.
You could get the LBS (assuming you don't have the tools) to swap cassettes from one to the other though - if the noise moves, it's (somehow) the cassette, if it doesn't - it's (somewhere) the wheel.

I don't see how a cassette (with no moving parts ) can make ANY noise, is it, by any chance, the ratchet mechanism?

It can have excessive end play on the splineshaft.

I still, say spoke nipples.
Lay across the saddle (with your shoulder, sort of) putting as much weight on it as possible and roll the wheel over a few spokes at a time, see if you hear a thang!
if two or three spokes are doing this, it will sound like a loose jockey wheel, very rattly sound.

Right tonight tried everything, tighten up the hub, greased all the spokes and all the other components and still there. Either faulty wheel or faulty cassette so going to put my old cassette on and try that, if not a phone call to mavic

Trying to help here and since all the usual suspects have been eliminated: are the cables of your RD and back brake trimmed off short and neat? A cable dinging against your spokes maybe?

The noise only comes when I ride it, when I put it on the bike stand there's no noise?

It does seen like it could be a dry bearing noise. How do u get to the bearings??

Would the noise of dry bearings always be there, because when I put it in the cycle stand and spin the wheel there's no noise, the min I ride it, it's noisy!!
For me there was no noise on the cycle stand but noise when I was riding it.
It's easy enough to check the bearings(obviously dependant on personal ability).
Try this Mavic technical website, I used it when I took my rear hub apart.

Spoken to mavic and apprently it's a spacer in the hub by the bearings??? Common fault and mavic no about this fault. If it even moves .1 of a mm it can cause noise?? So got to send it back and they can't guarantee it back till at least 3 weeks. Awful service!!
