I had this issue with my Easton hub, 

 

after 1 wet ride I had a crunching noise in my freehub, stripped, cleaned and regreased and put it back, only to find it clicked. turned out to be 2 of the 3 pawls in the freehub were shot and had to be replaced. 

 

Check that they release smoothly when pushed in and use a light durable grease to keep them quiet.

 

If that doesnt work.....put new bearings in

Definitely not the QR skewer as the bike is now even more noisy.

Will try a new chain, as mine is old and needs replacing anyway.

If that does not help I will strip the hub again and lube everything up

C'mon guys, surely someone has had this issue before...

I've cracked a Tune freebody before

They are Superlight but under engineered..

If prince, core move axle, if you have the Carbon axle... Check for cracks

If cracked...

A new one is mucho ZAR...

Good luck!

I have got the aluminium axle. And it's in perfect condition, so it's not that

Take it to David, he is a superb wheel builder. He has probably seen this before and knows what and how to look for it. 

 

You don't want to stuff those hubs up!

Thing is, I just want to confirm that it is the hub, before taking it in
