Chain or not
It should be almost silent turning the wheels when jacked up. Sounds like a bad CV joint. Put the transmission in neutral so just one side turns, then find out which side it is.
Be sure the car is securely supported on jackstands so you can safely get under it. Hold the shaft with one hand while trying to turn the wheel with the other. If there is any slack at all, the outer CV joint is bad. You will probably find the boot is torn and all the grease is gone, stuck to the inside of the wheel. Fortunately it is not very expensive to replace the shaft/CV joint/boot assembly with a rebuilt one.
