Metallic Rattling while printing

I just received my Core One L last week and things have been going well. 

I am now 63% thru a 10 hour print and there is a disturbing metallic rattling sound coming from what seems to be the front of the gantry or top of the Z rods maybe?

I was having surface quality issues so I did the strobe belt tension adjustment and found that the belts were at 107 upper and 99 lower. I adjusted the tension lower du to the tutorial advising that optimal tension was between 95U/85L. A few calibration cubes later and things seemed good. 

Could the prolonged vibrating from the belt alignment have loosened something? 

should I have left the belt tension where it was since I assume it was adjusted in some way when it was assembled?

Has anyone else had loose hardware issues?

RE:

I have a clear resonance in the printer, not specific to any panel or part vibrating. My belts were set correctly from Prusa.
