Which is the noise made as this rim gave out (thankfully, while still at home before heading out on a club (road) ride yesterday).

Nice. How many miles in it?
How many miles in it?
Not many - couple of thousand max. It's the rear wheel from my winter/commuter bike. Been on 6 months-ish.
It went on my summer bike because (1) I broke (another) spoke in the rear wheel of my lightweight wheels a week ago and (2) I'm off to Belgium on Thursday for the Tour of Flanders sportive, so needed a sturdy 32 hole handbuilt wheelset to survive me bouncing up and down over the cobbles.
It's now with the chap who built it. He's putting a new rim on for Wednesday night (yay!).
Still going to invest in some Ksyriums for lightweight duties this summer....
