Did you happen to seperate the transfer end of the tailshaft out of the slip joint while you had it off the car?

I think maybe now that you've changed the diff centre there is something tapping on something else.

Did you get all the bits of ground up diff gears out of the housing?

Then you've probably put the shaft back together with the unis out of phase. Diff end uni and transfer end uni have to be aligned with each other as you sight down the length of the shaft. Even slightly out can cause vibrations/noises.
