As much as I would like one of those $2500-$7500+ bikes in the bike shops I just dont have the money. Picked this up from academy for about $180

Think this is the same one pretty close. Been just over a year now, put about 1500 miles on it in and dropped another $100 in repairs, not doing to bad I guess.
Anyways, last few days it's been making this noise like.. well only way to put it into words is it sounds almost like when you push in the top of a pickle jar. That double popping sound it makes. Almost sounds like the chain is under to much pressure, but sometimes I will also hear this noise when I let up on the pedals. I have checked many times nothing is touching and it's not rubbing any place. Also I can get off the bike, raise it up and pedal it as fast as I can and it doesn't make this noise.
I'm sure someone here has heard this before and can probably pin point the problem for me. Plz do
Thanks for any advice!
