tosh,
I had to replace my amal valve recently because it was "clicking" when you wiggled the wires that go to it.
Maybe at a certain rev, the vibration frequency is making internal contacts move, hence it clicking on/off very fast and making the noise you descrfibe.
Try to just switch the ignition on, don't start the engine, and wiggle the wires, if it clicks on/off, I suggest you replace it.
Also, do you have a turbo damper ? If it's not adjusted properly, it would make a "zing" type of noise at certain revs too.
Nothing concrete in the above, but I hope it helps all the same
