You'll definitely want to check the compressor mounting as others have indicated. If it was moving enough to make banging noises I'd think you'd be able to see it while it's happening though.
Although you might have seen some shards at the hoses if there is debris the only way to really tell is to flush out the system to see what comes out. (You could also try dumping the oil out of the old compressor to see if it's clean.)
When you changed the compressor did you put refrigerant oil in the replacement? If you bought it new or rebuilt normally the manufacturer would specify the amount. (When I replaced the compressor on my CSE the instructions said to dump the oil that came in the new compressor and put in fresh oil. I forget the amount, it was probably 2-3 ounces.)
