A dealership pressed the plates on a rivet master link too tightly and caused it to bind (as diagnosed by another mechanic). Also, it was not a matching link (never mix brand/types). This caused excessive chain and sprocket wear. It would also bind and hit the sprocket cover when passing around the front sprocket. The larger 15-tooth front sprocket made this possible so I don't know if that is what you are hearing.
