Rubbing disc rotor? The noise is a bit strange for that case, but it could be somehow amplified by the frame in some ways.
Does the noise always happen at the same point of the rotation?

unscrew your brake caliper and see if it’s better then position it so it doesn’t make the noise, there are some nuances about doing that but I hope somebody will help you a bit more cause my break in work ends now hahah

Seems like the brake pads/pistons are too close, because it’s rubbing constantly. Take a close look at gap between the brake pads and the disc. If the gap is not the same at both sides, the caliper should be centered, if there’s hardly any gap at both sides, the pistons should be pushed in. If the rubbing is or remains at certain point only, you can bend the disc a tiny little bit there, with an adjustable wrench.
This is probably the caliper or pads rubbing against the rotor. Take a 5mm alen key, unscrew (partially not fully just enough to get em loose and the caliper moving with your hands) than press the brake, hold the brake and screw in the bolts again (whilst holding the brake lever). Try again it should be centered.

Undo the bolts holding the calliper to the fork then get something to hold the brake lever down then do the bolts back up.

Leave it. That’s a dope beat.
