weird noise in reverse?

My car is a 03 SE AT. So I changed all four motor mounts yesterday with ebay ones (no sensor), as well as the idler pulley. and right now I have a strange noise when I shift to reverse, it sounds like something is loose, but I cannot hear anything in the engine bay, only in cabin.. It is not constant, but randomly, like makes sound for 2 seconds then disappear, a few seconds back again....

anybody can shoot me a tip? thanks

upload a video or sound bite. we are not psychic's. atleast describe the sound- a tapping, dull sound, from the engine, from the tranny, a metal on metal sound(ringing), etc.
this is like: "im thinking of a number between 0 -&- Obama's National Debt"

Have you lubricated the contacts on your reverse lamp bulbs?
Sometimes the threads get corroded and they squeak when activated.
