Default Engine whining noise

Good morning all,

I received this 1990 tour glide from a family member that can no longer ride. Bike has 79k miles and seems to run and drive okay except for one thing, the bike has this whining noise. Its all stock from knowledge but everytime I turn the bike over it has this whining noise that changes tone with the RPM's. It will make the noise in neutral or in gear and I checked the cam cover(cone) for anything out of place but everything seemed fine and the noise seemed like it was coming somewhere else. Any help would be appreciated and I'll try to leave a video of the problem. Thanks!

I have heard that whining noise before with those Harley carbs and I believe that's normal.

Ride safe!
