Try spraying some aerosol based grease around the seam of the freewheel, Wurth do a good one

No idea mate, its on the bike, it was an early 80,s item, saying that when did Acs stop producing parts?

Most freewheels are louder when they are new (clean, and not much grease in there). They tent to get quieter when they get a bit clogged up with gloopy, greasy dust and muck.

shimano mx30's are clicky, had two brand new ones a few months ago and they were quite loud, the trick is to strip them down and rebuild them using grease, if u have never rebuilt a freewheel before try and practise with a old/unwanted one and make sure u do it over a container as the bearings will go everywhere!!!

Melt some multi purpose grease in a pan/tin then chuck ya freewheel in and let it cool, should be quiet then

Wow, just received my "Silent Freewheel" from JTR, and boy is it quiet!

Literally "Silent" ratchet mechanism. Quieter than Bin Laden! 

Good work, JT!
