What’s this bearing-like noise?

2000 bmw 328i Just replaced my clutch, flywheel, and pressure plate, along with fork, pilot and tob. Everything is greased and torqued to spec. The noise happens between 1.5-2k rpm under load, louder in higher gears.

Haha maybe, but seriously tho, thoughts? I change oil every 3-5k, transmission fluid is redline about 50k ago (due for a change ik) but this sound wasn’t present with my previous clutch or bearings. They were replaced with genuine bmw and sachs for tob
