That is exactly what mine is done if you stuff your leg tight to the seat u don't here it as loud. I ride with small helmet that don't cover my ears and to me it's annoying I don't mind motor noise but this just annoys me

Primary chains have often been known to produce a whine whistle type noise during break in.

Check exhaust and don't over think it for now. You have two years added warranty.
Enjoy and ride safe.
