Maybe it came with a free freewheel sound upgrade. Sorry I don’t actually know anything about bike maintenance and am experiencing a similiar issue.
The bike fought back
To me it sounds like too tight of a chain. Or new, for that matter, new chains have a tendency to make crrk sounds.
Could be that your chain is tight, your chain isn’t lubed or that some makes and models of chain are just noisier than others and yours is one of them. The rhythmic quality to the noise might be down to the chainring not being perfectly round and/or concentric, thus there are tight spots.
you need a new rear cog. 100%
Just a warning be very careful turning the cranks without pedals from the driveside. I did that and my fingers got trapped between the chain and chainring and severely fucked my fingers resulting in severed tendons and ligaments as well as massive gashes to two of my digits.
You need a new cog
Spinning cranks without pedals like that on a fixie is a wild move
Dude first lube your chain, second your chain is too tight, loosen it a little.
you need a new cog or the chain is too tight
