Run to failure?

Agreed. Hopefully problem can be located before it breaks. Likely to be inconvenient when/where failure occurs though.

Edit: Found it! Turned out to be the valve stem flexing against the rim. Put on a stem nut for a test & the noise disappeared. Removed nut. Let air out and pumped back up. Quiet & ready to ride.
