Default CX7 Popping Noise between 2000-3000rpm

Our Mazda CX7 is making this popping noise between 2000 and 3000 rpm when accelerating aggressively. Noise happens while driving as well as when in Park. If you have any ideas on what this could be, please help us out. We're stumped on this.

New timing chain, tensioner, high pressure injection pump, phasers, and turbo. Let us know what you think.

No CELs. Nothing that would help us lead to what's causing this noise. Car runs well. Only problem is this noise. Only does it when starting the engine ONCE and then when revving sharply between 2-3k rpm. We've tried pinpointing the noise with an electronic stethoscope and still not able to tell.

Took out spark plugs one at a time with engine running to see if the noise in the piston would change. Made no difference.

Just watched your YouTube vid. That sounds awful! It has a complete miss. Timing? Who did the work? Take it back!

It looks like the engine is moving when the noise happens as well. Have you looked at your motor mounts?

Completely unrelated to the miss. And the movement is normal.

OP, did you do the VVT work yourself? Perhaps you forgot to connect something or its loose.

Yes some movement is normal, but the engine moving & the noise is happening at the same time. There's something in common there.
