Well, cool. Seems odd that the hub would creak if it were low on grease though. Squeak, squeal I could understand but mine sounded like carbon parts were about to give way.
In other news, my old (vintage 2009) EA90SL is loud as hell and never creaks. My new one is very quiet when coasting and creaks.
