I agree with Nobby_UK - the sound in the YouTube video sounds pretty standard to me, probably the mentioned Chinon FB-354. If you are looking for a drive with a very distinct sound, it might be the Epson SMD 400. It has an extremely "beefy" sound in my opinion - real retro

And one of my all-time favorite floppy disk drives for that very reason
