I had a similar issue with a worn chainring, which ran very roughly and noisily when I replaced my worn 8-speed chain with new one, also 8-speed. Replacing the chainring solved the problem.

Also, I BELIEVE a 9-speed chain's inner link faces are closer together than those of an 8-speed chain. If so, this would increase chain-to-cog and possibly chain-to-chainring scraping.
