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.
I will test it out asap and will report back. About the chain it doesn't seem tight to me. It has like 1-2 inches slack. I have tried coasting, but at a lower speed and I didn't hear the whining, but I'll check it out when I'm moving faster.
