Rohloff Hub Noise Due to Incorrect Cable Tension

Confirm this cause if the noise manifests as a ticking or clicking sound during gear changes or while riding in specific gears. Verify the symptom by shifting through the entire range while stationary and under load. Observe if the shifter cables are taut or sagging and check for any physical contact between the cable housing and the bicycle frame or pedals, which can transmit vibration and noise during operation.
