I'm posting some pictures to give you guys an idea of what's going on.

When you mentioned the sound I knew it was the chain being too tight. And Tako is probably right about the bracket not being aligned with the keeper/stop. But dont go crazy with over tightening the rear axle. Invest in a cheap torque wrench until you're ready to spend money on a good one. 30 to 35ft lbs should be more than enough to keep the axle in place. And remember you're squeezing the inner race of some very cheaply made bearings.
