If your chain is too tight, it may grind like that. The lack of rpms and tension on the chain quiets everything to allow you to hear it easier. Next it's time to clean/lube your chain or get a new one.

Checking a chain is kinda a pain but easy enough. Remove the chain from the rear wheel and check every link visually for damage and frozen links. Another big sign it's time for a new chain is that it will not stay within the adjustment range, normally getting too loose within a few hundred or so miles after adjustment.
