Why does my Abound sound like a Washing Machine when using Cruise Control?

I cannot work out why my back wheel is so noisy, when I engage the cruise control it literally has a whining pitch like a Washing Machine turning on, when I disengage normal sound, when the wheel slows down - a very loud hitch pitch squeel comes out.

The Bike Shop even disconnected the breaks / removed the mesh etc / did everything Aventon recommended on my last post but the sounds are still here.

I am concerned, and parts are limited in New Zealand - but my riding experience is fine.

Let me know, unsure of others have this weird noise thing going on with their Abounds

Took it into the shop yesterday to get the breaks re-adjusted, so the wheel is running sweet as again but I recorded this video prior to getting my breaks readjusted - the crunch sound is gone but this high pitch squeel remains.

The mechanic briefly disconnected the breaks and the sound was still made whenever the wheel moves at a slow speed. It was only a quick checkup as I went in for my breaks, but this sound remains a mystery to me.

We don't know if it's the engine, but from a quick guess the mechanic suggested it might be a sound of "rubber" rubbing? It was only a brief checkup so unsure.

Thoughts?

P.s Bike runs amazing, zero issues thus far, very happy customer

I hate this screen, I accidentally fat finger it constantly when trying to hit my indicators in traffic, meaning I can't indicate occasionally and have to quickly tinker with the buttons at a high speed to try get rid of this bloody screen while riding.

Does anyone else fat finger this screen when out riding in traffic? Please get rid of it lol
