Default Strange noise

I have just fitted a vance and hines big radius 2 into 2 system to my 2017 Fatboy and have a strange sound in the low to mid rev range under load that I cant track down it sounds almost like a sewing machine. I've been back over the install on pipes everything is tight. As yet I have not had a tune done which is next but just thought I'd see if anyone might have done ideas as I'm not sure getting the tune done will solve this.

Maybe one of the baffles are rattling, check when hot with a large screwdriver.
You can also check if the sound is appearing without the chrome covers, just with the bear pipes.
