normal sound coming from my rear wheel?francisco

Hi
Recently I took my rear wheel to the LBS for an overhaul an regrease the bearings. Now it runs so smooth, and there´s no lateral play when moving the wheel between the brake pads. Everything is perfect, but when I turn the wheel fast at the repair stand, there´s a weird sound coming out the hub. It´s not like metal to metal, it´s more like something in there could be not as thight as necesary. But nothing moves, as I said before no play was detected. Axel tight, cassete tight, nuts are tight too.

Is this normal? I don´t know, it could be the sound of the bearings moving. At the LBS they don´t tight spacers too much so the bearings have room for rolling and not being so pressed. I tried to tight the QR and loose it but with no change.

BTW, it´s a shimano lx rear hub.

thanks a lot!
