Weird noise after replacing harmonic balancer

Hey diesel-heads,
I tried to google up this sound/ issue and I'm not even sure how to describe what I'm hearing. It sounds a bit like a bolt bouncing around inside a dryer to me.

The sound is hard to distinguish in the video but it's a tapping/banging that seems to happen at random intervals.

As the title says, I replaced the harmonic balancer a few days ago and that's the general area it seems like the sound is coming from. It does not change with revs as far as I can tell and inside the car it's unnoticable.
Anybody ever heard a sound like this? I checked for loose bolts or other things out of place already of course, and there is no noticable change in performance.

Thanks!
