Start by separating the wheat from the chaff. Does it grind only pedaling or only when coasting, or both?
Both points to hub bearings.
while pedaling points to chain/sprocket noise
while coasting points to freewheel mechanism noise.
Once you've localized the problem, then you can try to isolate the exact cause.
