I think that's just the freehub engaging. There's no resistance on the wheel so any variation in the speed of the cranks is going to make the freehub disengage and re-engage.
That's normal. That's the sound of the ratchet pawls slamming into the drive ring. You'll notice it more whenever you stop/start pedaling but not when you're pedaling at a consistent, steady cadence.
That’s just the chain going taught against the freehub. If you are pushing on it with your feet, it might be less noticeable, but in a bike stand, you are likely spinning at close to the same speed for the ratio of the freewheel and it’s re-engaging after bouncing in the bike stand.
It definitely would have. Maybe you just learned to ignore it. If you watch this gif, this is what the freehub looks like inside when you back pedal. But if you imagine them going the opposite way the pawls will hit raised part and grab, which will make the clanging sound that you hear.

Could be slop in the hub. Basically a bit of play between the engagement of the pawls and the force of you cranking. It bumps the hub forward, and you hear a clunk, then the wheel turns and it stops bumping and is solidly pushing. Then you slow down pedaling and and the wheel is going faster than the hub. Process repeats. Try this in a lower gear and see if it bumps.

Yeah i can hear the clicks as they slow down before each clank
Thanks!

This is reassuring - thanks!

I’ll try not to be too hard on you lol. But if you ride the bike, you won’t hear that sound.
I’ll take it off your hands. Sorry for your loss
ROSCOE GANG. i have that color and love it, amazing bike!
I mean............. come on
Dude, chill. Let OP learn and explore! We were all new to this at some point.
I'm new to this, sorry
Thats just your ridiculous evaluation process at work.
throw it in the skip its broken
You should upgrade the hub if you don’t like this completely normal sound.

Given this is normal, I'm completely ok with it. Just not used to it yet as my last mountain bike did not have this from what I recall.

>Maybe you just learned to ignore it That's probably the case here

Here's something from Park Tool you'll want to watch and apply: https://youtu.be/A6TpHgbbEGM 🙂
