If you've adjusted the chain by moving the rear wheel you may have slightly put it in a different position.
So the noise "could" be the chain cutting a new path on the plastic chain guide?
Tends to sound worse when people upgrade to new heavier duty chains, it makes a buzzing/rubbing noise.
Sorry, but this post is the most ignorant, dimwitted piece of 'advice' I've ever seen on a forum. What the hell are you talking about?
'New path on the chain guide' my arse.
Evidence of this?

Its called a chain guide- I have no idea why its needed because its a piece of rubber that does not guide the chain - it just gets cut by the chain as it rubs past it, mine has.

It's just the name of the part.
And if you check it, you'll notice the chain wears a path, quite simple really.
If you upset the chain by moving the rear wheelby a fraction of a millimetre it will rub against the sides creating a new path, and a bit of noise again until bedded in.
Very common if you upgrade from an OEM to a D.I.D. for example.
Been there, done that, as have many others on here.
