Usually because your rear mech (deraileur) is out of alignment with your cassette. Try adjusting the cable tension by turning the barrel adjuster (adjuster at the point where the cable enters the mech) just half a turn at a time anti-clockwise. Check that your mech or mech hanger hasn't been bent out of line.
Try adjusting the angle of your blocks by about 1mm so that the leading (front) edge of the blocks hits the rim first. This should stop the vibration that causes the noise. Also keep rim and blocks clean, oil contamination can cause noise too. You may need new blocks if that doesn't work.
