1861 tinging as well as ticking

Fellow 1861 owners

I have noticed that when I listen to my 1861, I can hear what I can only describe as a tinging sound from the balance wheel as well as the usual ticking we would expect.

Does anyone else have this sound coming from their watch?
It does seem to lessen when the watch is less fully wound

I have heard watches make the sound you describe. Normally I noticed it in older, hand-wound watches running at lower BPH (such as the Speedmaster Pro). I don't recall hearing this from my own Speedmaster Pro (produced ~2015), but it may be there and tinnitus could be drowning it out.
