if you need experience with bicycles, i'd advise you go find some freebies, then make then work correctly... you seem to lack experience in almost ALL ASPECTS of this field.
post a question if you have one.. quit hijacking threads for your own purposes, ok?
search the archives here for info, read up.
I was a professional bike mechanic up until 2014 and started 25 years earlier. I'm well known on several other forums.
It is hard to tell what sort of advice you are giving out because you don't use complete sentences or talk directly about the issue at hand. Do you think the OP's chain is too tight? Is the hub too tight? Is the hub too loose? Is the chainline off? Do all of those make chains noisy? I'm a smart guy, and I can't tell. Your responses are just essays on things you don't like, rather than explicit diagnoses and advice.
You may know quite a bit about the OPs problem, but your presentation is so scattered that even a guy with a professional background can't tell what you are trying to say.
Consider making your thoughts a bit clearer.
