Hi there,new to the forum myself but to try and answer if you have the throttle fairly wide open at those speeds you will get quite a lot of induction noise from the airbox,its a difficult one to answer without hearing it but noises for concern are a rattle or rumbling ...Hope this helps!

I have a ETS 150 and yes there is a lot going on for a bike with no valve gear. The primary drive is a chain and the airbox arrangement is something which reflects the price they sold for - cheap.
They can sound fruity on the throttle.
So long as you haven't got anything coming from the cylinder or below - knocking and the like and you're using a good oil chances are you'll be OK but as the other guys said can't hear it on internet
