A chain that is too tight can make odd noises. I'd check the chain condition and tension for starters.

Wheel bearings would be another possibility if the sound continues when coasting.

I couldn't hear much on the video.

Nope, no whining when I pull the clutch in and coast.

Here's another video where you can hear the same whining/whirring easily. Starts at around 0:11 sec. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5zJiZaIwfyk

I am not sure I even understand what you mean, but it doesn't sound right. Maybe check out the 2nd vid, the whine there is pretty obvious. Could help.
