Another things that came to my mind:
If you accidently damaged the thread or the thread holder, then there might be a leak now, which might be the cause for the sound, coming out for each explosion, through the leaking threads.
I remember from the manual of my touran, it mentioned to tighten the spark plug with fingers only at first to make sure it’s properly going into the thread holder, not the wrong angle. Then when sure it is ok, by finger screw it in to bottom. Lastly tighten it with the torque measuring tool to the allowed max X NM according to the maker. For my other vw car it’s 8NM per spark plug maximum to not damage the threads and cause a leak.
A compression test would probably be useful to rule out any leaks. That tool is quite cheap, like $20 or £20 something.
