Just curious, why would I hear pinging noises if the spokes weren't tense enough?
It is very unlikely that you would over tension a wheel.

Loose spokes often go ping ping, whether twisted or not.

On a well built conventional wheel set the drive side rear spokes will have the hightest tension, the non-drive side rear spokes will have the least tension, the front wheel spokes will have tension in between.
