It's a bit hard to tell from the video due to the wind noise, but my first thoughts are that maybe the drivechain is overtightened? Basically check the slack with someone sitting on the bike, move the bike so the wheels rotate 1/4 turn check again, rotate another 1/4 turn check again, etc until the wheels have rotated one full turn.
Also check chain for tight sections. Jack bike & spin back wheel.

I'll try something better-than-nothing stuff - like how I would try to deal with such thing..
First step would be engine check but according to your description I guess it's ok and must be excluded as a reason.
Than, we've got two possible reasons - moving part which is out of order or steady part became non-steady.
With lifting options you've got to simulate riding for maybe each moving part.
NB: always be aware how complete is extent of this simulations over real riding conditions. mostly it's about suspension but still important for other parts as well.
checking steady parts might be somehow easy but there still might be need of stand and running engine / wheel and carefulness, accordingly.
also, don't forget about third possibility - foreign object jammed somewhere, e.g. forests use to provide us with such challenges : )

Yes very nice wind, is it coming from north or south? Try to raise bike in the back so you can start up and run bike standing still. For me it sound like brake pads are gone? if you turn off engine when riding do you have same noise? check also where chain meets frame, maybe chainprotector is broken. I will also advice you to NOT ride the bike before you find out where noise is coming from, you can end up with much more damage.

If I try it on the spot, that's good. Yeah, if I turned off the engine at the ride it did exactly the same. The string is new and properly set.

Brake inserts were changed last year, while I was feeling the smell of rubber for a while. Tires well. Part 9 is an okey.

They are stuck? In that case follow this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tUyGTvLDrt4 If this doesnt help you need to check out video for overhaul of the piston, maybe change if they are rusted. You will se when you check this, piston moves out/in equal when press the brake.

Just when I press the front brake it still keeps clicking. And to do that, too, a fine whistle. What more can it do? I have not yet figured this out, but I do not want to break the power so I can not save it.
