Bicycle is a machine which needs regular maintenance and proper tuning like any other vehicle such as motorcycle or car. If you hear some noise while riding , you don't need to worry. A small maintenance or tuning will easily resolve your issue

1) If noise is coming from new bike within few days after you started riding - If you have received a new bike , we recommend it to be fine tuned at local mechanic. Normally the noise in new bikes come because of  
* Untuned brakes - Bicycle comes in big boxes which are transported via Road transport, and because of the delivery vibrations there is possibility the nut and bolt might get loose which can cause noise while riding . Most of the time, the bicycle is sent with front wheel unattached and customer assemble the front wheel by themselves. Whenever you take out the front wheel and reinstall it again, there is high chances the brakes get un tuned which could create noise while riding.
