By all means, check your spoke tension(s), ensuring that all are even with one another. Next, look at every spoke/spoke cross over. I experienced the ping each revolution before and it turned out to be spoke wear, at the cross overs. In the worst case, the excessive wear was causing the spoke to jump out of the wear spot and then ping against the spoke when it landed. Very hard to figure out.
