My ’77 Johnson 2 hp sounded exactly the same at that rpm,that deep chirping.The noise would go away at higher rpm. With no other 2 hp to compare it to, i figured it was its own normal little noise characteristic. I could not get it to run right ,the compression was a bit low. Had it miced by a machinist,the cylinder is worn in the center.
I did notice there is a scrape /wear mark on the flywheel top as i recall,like something is rubbing. I will try to dig the flywheel out and post a photo of its wear mark.

The scraping marks are from the wobbly starter pulley rubbing on the flywheel, which makes terrible noises that sound like internal engine problems.
