Weird ringing on D string

I've never heard that before. Could be a bad string. Try replacing it with a new one. If that doesn't do it, put a tissue under the string in the nut slot and try again. See if a tighter slot will change it.
 
My custom 24 had sympathetic resonance in the trem springs but I don't remember it coming through the pickups as prominent as that. I folded scrap cloth and put it on the springs to dampen them.
 
If you fret the 1st fret does it go away? I had a guitar with a string that didn’t have a clean breakaway angle across the nut one time that sounded not exactly like yours but similar.
