Bikes: too many bikes from 1967 10s (5x2)Frejus to a Sumitomo Ti/Chorus aluminum 10s (10x2), plus one non-susp mtn bike I use as my commuter

You didn't say what kind of chain lube you used, but if it solved the problem for a while, I'd venture that oil (not wax or dry lube) will solve it for a longer term. If you want to do a better job, remove one pulley at a time, disassemble, clean, and reassemble with a well oiled bushing (or bearings) and it should run quiet for the next decade.
