Weird noise after cams installed

I had my HKS 272s put in about 3 weeks ago and got a dyno tune from AMS. Everything was good until today,when my car started to make this weird BB bullet in a spray can shaking sound when the car is at idle. The ticking sound can only be heard when you are outside of the car, nothing can be heard while sitting in the car. Is the car knocking? Or it's the normal cam ticking sound? Thanks!!!
