I want a quiet bike
Hey team. we are all somewhat type A. This type A wants my bike almost noiseless. I mean just air in my ears. I know this sounds stupid...but what can I do or buy to achieve this?

Wax your chains... waxed chains are super quiet.
Could he mean the notorious clicking of the pawls in some "higher end" (is, more expensive) hubs:

Or NFS lube. Dunno what it’s made of, but it makes my drivetrain crazt quiet.
plis track down every loose bolt or rattling piece and pad it, clamp it or otherwise silence it!
I’m not sure what you mean either but I HATE HATE HATE that clicking sound some bikes make when coasting. I will never own one of them.
I, too, cannot stand stray noise. I also hate chewing with mouth open and jingling when running. I think I have that misophonia thing.
Tighten everything down and get a bike that doesn’t make that awful coasting click.
A derailleur that is not properly adjusted can also make noises, so check those out as well.
