@users with new chains: are they quiet?

Hi all,
as some know, I changed all chains and tensioners on my AJ26 a few weeks ago. Luckily it wasn't too late.
I was expecting the engine to be quieter than before. Well it is a bit quieter but I still have the 'rattle'/'shatter' of chains running in my engine. I know that chains aren't the quietest method of timing an engine, but I think my V8 seems louder than my V12 and louder than my former Duratec HE in my old Volvo C30.
Are your engines quieter?
Cheers
Damien

I don't have rails. My really early AJ26 has the integrated injectors. It is def. the chains. You only hear them with the sunroof open and next to other cars...

Thanks for your answers so far.
I was thinking: could it be the belt tensioner/pulley? I know the pulley sounded as if it was grinding some *****... I'll see if I can get a sound clip. It is def. rev-related. So either chains or belt... At least in my opinion.
Are the pulleys/belt tensioners known to fail?
Cheers
