Default Arrr ! Strange noise

I have a strange noise on the Vette. It seems to come through my shifter.

Quizz : what do you think it is?
Clue : I look pissed because it happened just after I have finished the "ease in" period of my new 3.90 rear diff ...

It is easier to hear at 1:20

I did not think about this. It is true that when they changed the clutch, the rear diff, they also put an elite tunnel plate. Do you think it could be it?

i am no expert, but if they removed the exhaust pipes they could have inadvertently loosened one of the heat shields. should be an easy check and then an easy repair if so. i just dont think that it is anything major due to the noise only coming at a certain rpm and vibration range
