This is odd. I currently own around 60 doubles of different types and have bought and sold many more over a lot of years. I have never seen or heard of this before. And this is not a ping or small noise. It sounds just exactly like an old time brass teacher's bell from a 1 room school. Clear, bright and long sustain.

I tried the snap caps and no help. When I install a battery I will try the tuner just to determine the frequency.

While shooting a gun I have owned for a long time, and all of a sudden, when dropping the right hammer, it rang with a perfect tone. It continued to do this, now new sound. Nothing happened to the function of the gun.
On a visit by Brian Dudley, I demonstrated it to him, and his comment, as best that I recall, was that he had noticed this in other Parkers, but not to get overly concerned about it. That was good enough for me.
