If you sprockets are not aligned you will hear a noise that is more noticeable at certain speeds. I had this issue with stock sprockets. I use an alignment tool to set everything up and just be very careful when I'm adjusting the chain tension to turn the adjusting nuts by the same amount. This noise is caused buy the sides of the chain rubbing against the side of the sprocket. The sound tends to pulse due to the variation in chain tension as everything turns.
