Did you replace the throttle body gasket? Yes this is a must to replace if it has any age to it.

I'd use the stethoscope method to isolate where exactly it's coming from. It sounds to me like there's something that is knocked loose or something isn't tightened down correctly.

i did notice that the flappers had some nicks in them and that the inside of the throttle body was a little banged up... could putting the sensors on wrong do this also?

Most likely if it's running you installed the gaskets and sensors right. It could be a vacuum hose that you took off leaking. Did you put the hose on behind air hat that goes to the crank case breather?

yeah... all the hoses that i disconnected i put back on... i went over it again... i touched up the edges of the disks and wiped everything down again and reseated everything... the noise has stopped for now... hopefully it was just something simple lol... i did notice that if your not paying attention you can get the airhat partway on and think its all the way on... lol...
