You’ve run the chain the wrong side of the retaining tab on the derailleur.
It’s a rite of passage for chain replacement.
your chain is not correctly threaded through the derailleur. there is a metal protector and the chain must go under it and not on top of it. That metal thing is between two pulleys. Look closer you will see it.
Oldest chain mistake in the book
Chain routed incorrectly. There’s a tab on the cage that the chain goes behind, you have it routed in front. That’s what makes the noise. Take the mater link apart, routed the chain correctly, put the master link back in.
We meet again gentleman. How do we always end up here…?
You are now one of us. Spread the light!
It semms like you routed your chain wrong and it rubs against the cage.
Who’s gonna tell him?
Oh…everybody
Wow. This just happened to me the other day and laughing at myself in the bike shop.
