The info I could understand is useful. During the trip I put my front wheel on my wife's bike and hers on mine. We both have Surly LHTs. Hers has the stock wheels. Instantly as she rode the clanging started and she is much lighter than me. My bike with her wheel was silent.
so you aren't a mechanical type, I'm a little surprised, BUT you do make very well made videos!
do you remember the Charlie Brown cartoons? Remember the teacher always sounding like "whaa whaa whaa whaa" to the kids---here is some more boring stuff for you--hopefully as others have said, the spokes just need a good tensioning, and the wheel will be true and strong and silent again. Sometimes when spokes have gone a long time being undertensioned, it can increase the risk of spoke breakages, but you dont seem to have had that occuring yet.
good luck with getting it sorted
and again, always enjoy your trip videos.
cheers
