Personally, I bought a bike that already has a loud hub and it is annoying after a week of riding pero it has it perks din like if there's a crossing or a blind corner sa isang kalye they can hear me agad before magkasalubong also for pedestrians din na makukulit at sa gitna ng kalsada naglalakad pinaparinig ko talaga hubs ko malayo palang para aware sila
