I don't recall hearing this noise from other riders' Schmidt hubs, and I am wondering if I should be concerned.  An internet search turned up nothing helpful - I know lots of folks on this list have SONs and I am wondering what their experience has been.  If it makes a difference, I am running an E6/Lumotec Oval combo . . . . rack mounted.
 
I'm pretty noise insensitive, so for a hub to be hearable it has to be loud.

The only time my hub made a noise I could hear I didn't have it tighented down
enough.  So, check the tightness of the quickrelease or axle.
