Why don't you go back to the shop and tell them the issue? The shop should have test drove the car. Could it be that one of the nuts isn't torqued down?

The video says deleted but there should be no noises. Take it back to the shop and show them the noise.

Hopefully he got this fixed already. If you drive it like that it can cause damage to the parts he replaced/upgraded.
