Freewheel for racing bike?

Are there specific sizes for freewheels or are they all one size fits all and can you recommend a good one that is a bit louder, as I currently have one that you can't hear at all.

Firstly, apart from the difference Campagnolo – Shimano/SRAM, there are different sizes for different gears.

And secondly, not every freewheel fits every hub. Every manufacturer cooks his own snack. For example, Mavic and ZIPP are quite easy to trade, Shimano makes this much more complicated.

The freewheel must fit the hub. You can’t just put some other freewheel on your hub.

If your hub is quiet with the right freewheel from scratch, you can hardly change anything without changing the hub. (exceptions confirm the rule… what kind of hub do you have?).

Okay, after a short search, the freewheel mechanism is not interchangeable, so you can’t change the volume.

At DT Swiss, this would have been an option.

Someone who understands the wheel construction can actually add any combination of rim and hub with corresponding spokes. But it should be clear to you that this is an hour-long manual work and is not made for €50 accordingly.
