When I hear the ratchet getting loud, I pull it apart, clean it and give it another thin coat of grease. I typically ride this hub 5000-7000 miles/year and have had zero issues. Others may have a different experience.
Anyone can do as they please to their own wheels, but in the context of adding more grease to silence the hub, as suggested by Bob, its a hard NO. The DT technical manual clearly warns you to exclusively use the special red DT grease in a thin layer applied with a small brush.
