You’re pedaling backwards… a chain will make noises when pedaled the wrong direction

I only hear the cassette noise. What “clicking” ?

Sounds like your front derailleur is rubbing the chain

Haha I love this. OP bookmark this and have a look at it in a couple of years to have a good natured chuckle at yourself.

If if hurts when you do that, then stop doing that.

Is everyone else deaf?
Yeah, there’s the angry bees the free hub (as intended), but there’s also another clicking of the chain.
I’m pretty sure it’s coming when the different teeth of the front chain ring are engaging the chain in the abnormal direction. Does it always happen at specific orientations of the crank?
An ill-fitting chain link/quick link can make the noise/resistance/jump as well. Does it always happen when a specific part of the chain travels through the jockey wheels?

Sounds like a working freehub to me

I don’t hear any unusual “clicking”.
