Once per wheel revolution? Is it a spoke out of tension?

 

[T.M.H.N.E.T]

Clipless pedals? Check the bolts re: tightness

 

[VamP]

Seat clamp or saddle clamp. Do I get a prize?

+1 for seat,
I had a noise with similar symptoms for ages until I realised the tension adjusting nut on my Brooks B17 needed tightening slightly and silence was restored...

Anything to do with saddle, seatpost or pedals would consistently be at the same point in the pedal stroke.

Not in my case it wasn't.
It had more to do with how bumpy the road was and how hard my a*** was hitting the saddle

Can you get someone else to ride the bike whilst you ride along side on another bike, to try ascertain where the noise is coming from?

I would remove the seat post if you haven't. Clean it and inside the seat tube and maybe put a little WD40 on it, put it back in and see if anything happens.

Inspect the frame very carefully around the top tube and seat tube junction and around the BB for cracks.

Sticky chain link?

Carbon seatpost?

You'll have to live with it.

You should start a '24 Carat plonker' thread.
