Actually, you do just that. That's how you tell how tight the spokes are
in a fully trued/tightened wheel. I can't give you the pitch or note and
true, you have to have a straight rim. You cannot really "true" a car
wheel as you would a bike, but in a fully tightened/true wheel you do plink
the spokes and if one sounds dead(different) then you tighten it till it
sounds like the rest.
