The manufacturers information suggests it should be "whisper quiet running" so maybe get the council to have it looked at. Send them the video as it does make quite a good point!
The unit has a 7 year warranty, which is really long for such a product too

The 230v version* of these fans have two settings: Bathroom and kitchen
I'll bet they have just put it on kitchen (probably that's how it came in the box).
Take the cover off and see where the speed selection switch is.
The instructions are here on page 9
*Note there are two types of these fans 230v and SELV (12volt). Need to know which one you have.

I would suggest they've dropped some rubbish into the fan when they installed it and what you are hearing is it gringding away against the impellor.
I think with council workmen it is mandatory to drop rubble all over stuff or under floorboards etc, it needs special training to fill inconvenient places with such successfully large amounts of rubbish
It sounds to me like constricted airflow, but there is a chance the impellor may be rubbing on the casing. This can happen if it is distorted, either by screwing to an uneven surface, or by tightening the screws unevenly. If you loosen the fixing screws the case will spring back to shape. It's worth a try.
Dust or grit in the bearing can cause motor noise, but Envirovent fans usually have ball-bearing motors. I don't know if your one has.

Sounds too me like fan is touching casing , maybe they over tighten It to ceiling distorting case , or left a bit of plasterboard in it .
Strange place to put isolation switch .
