Default Drivetrain noisey, should I be worried or not

I seafoamed the car and followed the procedures to a T about a month or less ago. I took the old oil out at 200 miles from the day of the seafoam. I messed up and put in 5w instead of 10w like I always run and now I can hear the driver side drive train being extra noisey. Car still runs VERY strong and isnt missing or anything. Am I just being paranoid and need to get that lighter weight out ASAP? It has been pretty hot around here the last month and very humid.

The thicker oil could also just be letting you hear the valvetrain noise more.

You mean thinner? 5w is thinner than 10w right?
