    The rubber mounted sprocket is just a damper, sounds like something is not aligned right? Or you got the chain too tight. Go over your installation and make sure all is aligned and such. By the way, what size sprockets and chain are you using? Or like Grand Rouge said, maybe the primary gear whine you never heard before? I know a wore out chain well make all kinds of weird noises.

        Is that 20mm with all up riding weight on board? The slack should be adjusted with the bike standing on its wheels with rider.

        Don't say can't, as anything is possible with time and effort, but, if you don't have time things get tougher and require more effort.

            It's still too tight. I run 50-75mm of slack in the lower chain run. Always have for many many years. If I tightened mine to 50 mm, it would be noisy and whining too.
