I’ve had similar after washing a bike once, inexplicable squeaking when ridden, previously perfectly functioning Novatec sealed bearing hub.
Turned out to be the hub seals that had dried out after being washed and were causing friction. Slipped a bit of thin chain lube in between the end cap, all good since.
