Your chain might be too tight

Izumi eco chain? I use one once and it was similarly loud and stayed that way for awhile until I switched back to a KMC chain.

This is pretty common with brand new drivetrains. Nothing to worry about, it should get quieter as it wears in.

perhaps chain sizing? considering how constant the noise is, it sounds like it is coming from the teeth engaging with your chain. there are two different sized single speed chains as far as i’m aware of 1/8 and 3/32. i’d double check that compared to your sizing of chainring and cog to make sure they match…also im just guessing here based off how it sounds, so i could be talking out my ass as far as diagnosing the issue. but worth a check imo

Certain gear ratios and chain Tensions can make noise no matter what

Sounds pretty normal. That carbon rim probably amplifies the sound. Maybe just make sure it’s not super tight.

You said you had a 3/32 cog on the rear? If so it’s the 1/8 chain having “room” to grumble on the rear

Not based on the video rather the pictures u have, i am guessing the chain is short and looks tight, also the piece that connects the chain ends together is not corretly assembled. If it is an inexpensive chain id get a new one and do it properly also let a bit more wiggleroom when adjusting the lenght.

Bike is dope AF 😍 Love the flat black and pink color scheme plus black components.
The chain line looks straight. I was gonna say try some lubricant but I’m sure you have. Guess it has to be that chain?
