Sheldon: "In the case of derailer geared bicycles, the chainline is not perfect in most gears. Chainline mismatch can cause the chain [when on a smaller chainring] to rub against the side of an outer, larger chainring "
I measured the chain line as shown in the link and it's pretty close to what is specified for Road Double - 43.5mm. Someone with more experience than me would know whether to go up to a 113 or 115 but a 115 might start to push it to far over and maybe you get the opposite problem with the large/large and chain rubbing the cage?

Personally I would leave it, and if I actually hear the noise, I'd take it as a welcome indicator that it's high time I shifted into the large ring.
