It could be absolutely anything you loosened. Put the car up on the lift, start it up, and then hunt for the noise. Also check for clearance issues, especially around the new parts.

Just remember to REMOVE the shop towel once you have located the source of the rattle. Yeah I know that would seem obvious but stupider things have been known to happen.
