Didn't read the whole thread but my guess would be the lead wires are impacting the cone. Try to route them more to the side or closer to the spider.

Aren't these lead wires threaded into the spider ?

I don't think RFC does that. I've only reconed one though.

This might be worth checking out then ! Also, check out the enclosure! any air leaks or something loose will cause a noise

The only way you can test these accurately is with a signal generator and an impedance meter(such as the "Marconi Measuring Bridge"
