Or, 2) Did you recently remove your chain for servicing? If so, is there any chance the chain was run improperly outside the rear derailleur cage? What I mean is that the chain might be running over the top of the little tab on the back of the outer cage plate, as opposed to under it.
I have made both of the above 2 derailleur set-up mistakes at various times over the years. The plot thickens! Once you definitively track down the cause of this silly noise we’ll eagerly await the consolation prize for the correct bike detective!
+1 on the routing. That's what it sounds like.
