Hubs don't make noise unless they are complex, multipart splined hubs.
Simple hubs can't be greased to any avail. Maybe your bearings or
pedals are making noise. Maybe your cranks are loose. Sometimes saddles
make squeaky noises. Spokes rubbing each other make noises. Try to
isolate your problem or expand on the details of your equipment a bit.

What you do is unscrew the two bolts on your cranks, and pull the cranks
off. Then clean the axle and the inside of the crank, and regrease with
either copper grease, or similar (has to be able to withstand high
pressure and high temperature), I use a special polymer grease which
the lbs uses for their splined cranks. Be nice and liberal with the
grease. Then put the cranks back on, first tightening the big bolt on
the side a moderate amount, then tightening the little bolt on the side
really hard, and then tightening the big bolt really hard. No more
creaking! Unless it's coming from your spokes, or pedals. You just do
this procedure every month or two, keeps your splines healthy. (Make
sure to change the position of the cranks, just turn them 90 degrees
from what they were, this prolonges the life of your hub and cranks)
