Just got an e-bike with Ananda M100 mid drive, it’s making this sound every time I pedal hard. Pardon the wind noise, but that aside it’s quite audible, constant ringing every time I pedal.
Can someone shed a light on what this might be? I’ve tried tightening all the bolts I can find in the mid section to no avail.

Chain is rubbing against, I assume will be the front derailleur. Definitely sounds like the chain and up near the front of the drivetrain
However it’s single chainring at the front so maybe a chain guide?
Derailleur like old mate just said
Chain rub in time with pedal stroke suggests the chainring rubbing on something and maybe a little bent out of true. I associate this sound with front derailleur out of adjustment.. usually fixed temporarily while riding by tweaking the shifter… proper fix is readjusting the derailleur position and limit screws.
But you seem to have a single chainring so it could be rubbing on a chain guard or tensioner. Get the bike in a stand and check the chainring (can be trued carefully by bending with an adjustable spanner)… also check for any play in cranks and adjust clearances to chain guard etc.
