It sounds like the chirp is the result of the insulation and metal components in the DI pump area acting like a high-pass filter, so that we only hear the highest pitch of the tapping.

I am not a skilled diagnostician, so take this with a grain of salt. Maybe someone with better ears will go poke around in this specific area.
I'm glad someone took the time to scope this sound...
