1. 110 KGF for a 36H front? Should only need 90-95 KGF.

2. Stress relieve + lubing crossings and a few miles of use normally makes the noise go away.

I would wipe that rim down super clean, put a bright light on it and closely examine the holes, their integrity and check for discoloration around them.

There's a possibility you've already killed the rim via overtensioning + use - with the new tires at high PSI revealing this. The fact that you get HUGE swings in tension readings inflating and deflating lends to this as well...

100-110 KGF is what we are typically looking for on the drive side of rear asymmetrical wheels and asymmetrical disc wheels in 32 / 36 hole.

...not symmetrical fronts.
