My freewheel has developed an odd sound which seems to kick in every rotation. Almost a draggy noise similar to the one I get when I pedal after freewheeling and everything engages. I've taken apart the hub, checked the pawls and such but I can't seem to get rid of the sound. Any ideas?

The freehub sounds healthy to me, more like something is rubbing.

Remove the chain and spin the wheel by hand: you'll be able to rule the freehub in or out.

Sadly not. I’ve done what @BrickMan suggested - took the cassette off and spun in my hand and if the freehub is clicking against a certain spline then then I can feel the crunch.
