Are bicycle hubs the louder the better?

I don't know if you have such an experience, that is, the riders around you are chasing hubs with a very loud number. For example, I pursue a lot of 120-ring hubs. In fact, it does not mean that the louder the hub is, the better.
The sound produced by the hub is that when the ride is idling, the ratchet and the spring plate in the hub are pushed, so the relevant sound is produced. Many riders are constantly pursuing hubs with a very loud number. In fact, it is really unnecessary.
Because the number of clicks of the hub is related to the strength of the spring plate inside the hub. That's not to say that a 30-ring hub is less loud than a 120-ring hub. This is not the case. The number of clicks of the hub is mainly related to the strength of the spring plate inside the hub, and the sound has little connection with the number of clicks.
The higher the spring force, the louder the hub will be, not just the amount of spring force. In addition, the size of the hub sound is related to the grease inside the hub. The less grease, the louder the hub will be.
So, when you feel your hubs getting louder. Do not doubt, it is the hub that reminds you that it is necessary to carry out the maintenance of the relevant interior of the hub. Only when the grease is reduced will the sound of the hub become louder.
Many riders will be misled, that is, the 120-ring hubs on the market are very loud and the sound is very loud. As long as the number of clicks of the hub is more, the performance of the hub is better. In fact, this is not the case, the fact is the opposite.
The more the number of clicks of the hub, the more times the ratchet is struck. Over time, the performance of the hub will be weakened. The number of rings of the hub is not the sound of the hub, but affects the density of the hub's sound.
As mentioned above, if you want the sound of the hub to be louder. The main thing is to keep the beating frequency of the ratchet teeth of the hub unchanged and reduce the grease inside the hub, so as to achieve the effect of increasing the sound. There is no need to buy a 120-ring hub at all, but it is not good for the hub to increase the loss of the hub.

Also, it's not that the more grease the hub has, the better. If there is too much grease, it will increase the resistance inside the hub, which will also affect the performance of the hub. I hope that when riders choose hubs, they don't consider the sound of the hubs, but the performance of the hubs.
