and the shop should help you get a good fit, though using the above link can give you a ballpark don't take it's words as set in stone since you don't quite know what your riding style is yet

and if it's chain noise, meaning isn't squeaking, and just a very light click-click-click of the chain catching the teeth on the gears, if it's squeaking you are flexing the frame around the bottom bracket, you should put it into a lower get and raise the rpm of your pedaling
