Why is this sound happening in my rear wheel?

It seems like the freewheel. It seems unusual. I can't say for sure.
I would start by running oil into the freewheel, and see what happens. Does it function 100% while riding, apart from the noise. If it does, and oil doesn't fix it, you could pull apart the freewheel and have a look, or replace the freewheel, or just ride it as is. |
Is this a new freewheel? What alo said, run some light oil into the freewheel. Also remember that freewheels, freewheel cogs, and chainrings are not perfectly round, especially at lower price points. Try running a slightly looser chain just to see if that reduces noise.

Time to take it apart & look for a bad bearing race. |

here it is without the chain
youtu . be/A_JOyeW7IgQ Put the chain back on, make sure it's not too tight (a little variation is normal when pedaling) and ride the bike. It should quiet down as parts wear in. |
Lube the freewheel by oiling through the gap between freewheel cover and teeth ring, "run it backwards" with finger to help coating everything inside ( I would continue oiling 'til it runs from the backside gap, but you may stop when/if the sound diminishes; it will not be muted as it being a cheap frrewheel) and test. While you're at it, check the hub for grease; there is this sound like "dry" ball bearings falling onto each other and I'm not sure if it comes from the freewheel or hub.
