If the wheel is new it's quite normal to get some pinging from the spokes.
During the final stages of the truing and tensioning some of the spokes may have twisted around a bit when the nipple was turned. The ping comes when the spoke twist back in a stres-release cycle.
Don't tension everything, just check trueness when pinging is about stopped.
