Humming noise after timing chain install

Afternoon everyone I replaced my timing chain in Jan. And after I have noticed a humming during accelerating and driving at normal speeds. I replaced it with a single metal chain and metal gears. I have been told by a few it might be humming during break in period. Any thought? Thanks

A metal timing chain and gears will be louder than a nylon/metal stock one, but the difference is debatable.
The only concern would be that who ever installed it "forced" the gears on and left too much slack in the chain.
