Question Noise while coasting

I keep hearing this noise while coasting coming from the rear wheel. Could this be the bearings in the hub? Does anybody know what I can do?

Depending on your hub and body, the sound might very well be the freewheel mechanism ticking over. It's sort of an one-way clutch that lets your sprockets engage/disengage when pedalling/coasting. Tell us more about how it sounds and we'll be able to tell.
