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

Since it only happens when pedaling, you can eliminate things like hub bearings and focus on things that move with the chain. As noted above an RD pulley is a good suspect, but the problem may be much simpler, a dry chain. It seems to come from the back because the chain flexes more winding onto the pulleys and smaller sprockets. Try some chain lube --- any chain lube --- before looking for or fixing anything more complicated.
