Hard to separate the noise of wind on the mic or your sleeve which can be seen flapping.
what can you hear?
Fingers crossed it's not wheel bearings eh?

well I've checked the chain and there does seem to be a tight spot on it so have cleaned and re-lubed, can't adjust at the moment as I gave all my loose sockets to my daughters BF
and can't undo the wheel
what size is the nut so the missus can search for one tomorrow while I'm at work?

How slack is the chain? Sounds like it could be too loose and jumping the sprockets on accelaration. If not that there's and expensive bearing job on the horizon.

if the bearing is gone you should be able to feel it when you spin the wheel on the stand it will feel slightly rough or knotty rather than very smooth also check the chain for seized links and the correct slack
