Ha - you beat me to it! I had a similar problem years ago. I am sure that I posted about it?

Ah yes...

I didn't find it until the next time I serviced the bike, by which time it had made quite a score on the back of the crank considering how little I used the large ring.

Another one I chased for a while was a random ticking from the BB area whilst honking. I tightened the crank, the pedals, and the chainring bolts to no effect, so as I was away touring I left it until I got home. A couple of weeks later the bottle & cage both disappeared under the back wheel as the extension bracket broke, the ticking had been from a fatigue fracture that was developing at the lower fixing. The Mk2 version was beefed up at the stress point and is still fine after many more miles:

My hearing has got a lot worse since then so I tend to miss subtle noises. I am not sure that I would hear it now. I feel like making it happen so I can check. If I remember I will do that tomorrow.
