You mentioned chain earlier - When I had an issue with my chain being too tight it caused what I thought was noise from the front wheel - turned out to be the chain too tight, this caused my sprockets/chain and rear bearing to need to be replaced. Thats worst case I imagine, but yes a chain too tight can cause noise, especially above 30mph and also on/off throttle.
