Disk brake noise that baffles me

I know, it is hard to describe noises on the internet but I will try. I have XTR disk brakes and they work great. My problem is when I go down a hill fast, brake hard, I hear a repetitive pinging sound that goes away after about 30 seconds. It sounds like playing cards on the spokes.

First thing I did was tighten the center lock disk down, it was loose. No changes
Second thing, was have the spokes retensioned by one of our own here on BF. No changes.

Sorry about the wind noise but this is the sound on YouTube

Stan's Crest Carbon rims, White Industries CLD hubs, 12 mm through axle. Only happens on the front, not the rear. BTW this is a road bike.

Any thoughts?
