Just changed my timing belt, now I hear a slight tapping under the hood. Its possible and I am hopeful that I just did not notice this before.

Seems like I hear it at an idle. Also when I rev it up it goes away, but seems to make it again as the RPMs die down.

Does this symptom sound like piston slap? Its not especially loud but I definitely hear it in there. Or could I be off a tooth on the timing belt? Car does not miss or seem underpowered when driving? I had assumed that I would definitely notice a difference driving it if the timing was off.
