Can anyone diagnose this rubbing noise?
I tried searching the forum to see if anyone has had a similar problem, but all I came up with were disc rubbing issues.

Here is an out-of-the-box hub motor. I placed it to my torque arms and rotated the wheel. When the wheel reaches a certain position, during rotation, a rubbing noise is heard. This noise is more prominent on the freewheel side. The noise can be recreated in the opposite direction and is consistent at the same wheel position. This noise was also replicated in a vice holding the wheel in a horizontal position.
