Looks very much like a loose axle to me?
Carbon Ti hub noise fix.

That is definitely too loose. Contact Carbon Ti. They may ask you take apart the hub and to take a several photos. Do yourself a favour and clean the hub including all internals so they are spotless before you take any photos. The people at Carbon Ti are very nice, though if your hub is beyond a certain age they likely won't replace it for free. They may also try to suggest that your problem was the result of improper pre-load settings. If the hub has been properly adjusted and maintained, insist it's a product issue and not a maintenance issue. Regardless, you definitely need a new (and fatter) axle.
When you put it back together, do a good job of cleaning and greasing the axle and inner bearing races. You might get a few weeks of silent operation. For the re-assembly make sure you eliminate all side-to-side play. As noted previously watch their video for guidance.
I'd also recommend going a little tighter on the cassette lock ring. Doing so will minimize the notching in the freehub splines. That freehub is also very soft material. I've seen a loose Shimano cassette cut all the way though one in a mater of weeks.
