I bought this hub about a month ago and have worn it in.
I've de-greased it and bent the springs.
But it's still really quiet.
Is there any ways I can make it louder besides all that?

I'm sorry but you really need to open your eyes.

Buy more springs! I double springed my Cult Match for longer spring life and it did the trick and slipped less.
But really mine was rather annoyingly loud when I had it. It made a rather nice sound but it wasn't really ideal.
Buy the Male axle conversion if you can because it makes it way nicer. The femaleness of it is for pussies lol

I suggest screaming while you ride, that will get you the attention you crave without spending any money.

Seriously, grease = a good thing. A little bit helps dissapate heat which could aid in preventing premature wear.
AKA Grease + Heat = Less heat, which in turn = longer lasting hub.
And to those saying this is not true, degrease all of the bearings on your bike, and then ride. Do it.
Your bike will squeal and creak all the time, getting you the noise you want.

Okay so if you were to sum up all the posts in this thread, I think you'll have the perfect answer.
Another spring, sand in hub, more grease (to compensate for the grease you removed), screaming loudly while going fast, all while not sucking. Problem solved.

There's your first problem, you bought a Colony Wasp hub.
You should've bought a freecoaster. Any will do. Yes they're silent but there's a trick to make them insanely loud.. Like louder than the Chris King or Profile Elite hubs. Take the driver out, and pour some sand in there. Did that once and I couldn't hear anyone I was riding with talking.

Glues for pussies man up and use red loctite.

Cleaning out your ears helps too. Or turn off your headphones for a while.

I tried this and the steps were very unclear.
I got my vagina stuck in my sprocket.
