Loud chain ping noise immediately or later after changing gear

Ok, sometimes very randomly, I get load chain "snap" noise (dont know how to better describe this, like the chain snaps into its place finally) after (I think rear) gear change.

It may happen few seconds after gear change or sometimes even minute or so. No chain skipping, nothing like that, just the noise.

The bike is new, and I have already done ~1000km on it.

I checked everything, all is tight, including cassette. Bike shifts perfectly. Chain is clean, lubed etc..

Again, noise happens occasionally and not often. (although on my last 200km ride it did happen 10 times or so and its annoying)

But I had this sound (again very randomy and occasionally on some of my previous bikes)

Cant realy say if it happens in any particaul cog but it doesnt matter because the bike is new.

I wish I had the sound filmed becuase I am sure you would recognise this immediatelly.

I have cleaned the chain from annoying factory sticking grease and use my own lube as usual.
