Default New (built) 700r4 rumbles when idling, what could it mean?

Hey yall,
for reference, I drive a 1990 Chevy K5 Blazer with a 6.2 Detroit Diesel (w/h a turbo) on it I had a new (built) 700r4 Transmission installed on it a few days ago, and one thing I've noticed is that it rumbles a bit loud when idling and even louder when in gear (reverse, drive, etc)

(This is the 700r4 currently installed on it: https://gearstar.com/gm-700r4-performance-transmission-level-3 )

What could it be? I've driven it around local roads and on the freeway and it shifts properly (1st to 2nd has a very slight kick to it since it is built) but I don't know why it rumbles as so, any input would be highly appreciated

My vote would be something rubbing where it shouldn't. If it wasn't making this noise prior to the transmission being replaced, I would think this would be something the shop that installed the transmission would take care of for you.
