Can you narrow down the area it's coming from?

The whining in the video sounds like typical gear noise to me.
Nope, the sound goes away when I pull in the clutch. The faster I go the louder it gets and it gets quiter when I slow down. The sound itself matches the speed, but reving while moving or idle doesn't make or affect the sound.

I wish I could narrow down the area, but as I said I'm pretty new and I could be totally wrong. I got the bike in january and started riding it a week ago. I feel like it's coming from the front though.

And it's pretty much the same as the one in the video. It gets loud, but not aggressive like the sounds in the videos where the speedo cables were fubar. I do hear it over the normal sound the bike should be making.
