They can do that when a wheel is first trued if the spokes aren't stress relieved properly.
if it all of the sudden started doing it for no reason than I would check for broken or loose spokes. Bent rims can upset the spoke tension as well.

Like under load on the largest cog with the RDER "ticking" the spokes?

I would check the spoke tension, since it sounds like something might be too tight or under too much tension. If they all seem okay, then I would check the axle for play & smoothness. Sometimes the bearings will make noise when they are not preloaded correctly or when the grease in the hub has started to turn gummy.
