Default Jingle/Rattle noise

Seems like I keep finding some small issues/noises after having the balancer replaced recently, along with pulleys/belts, etc. The balancer and engine bay are quiet on idle. However, I get this high pitched rattle/jingle/squeal (hard to describe) on acceleration and deceleration. Its more pronounced on deceleration and revving in the garage but definitively can hear it on acceleration, which is easier to hear when the top is down. I keep reading about an exhaust jingle/rattle but can't find any videos to see if that's what my issue is. Also, the car didn't make this noise before the balancer replacement so I'm wondering if it is in fact the exhaust hanger rattle and/or H pipe. I'll try to capture a video and post it up.
