Have you oiled your chain lately? It could be as simple as a dry chain or you lubed the chain but the lube didn't get inside. If the sound is sort of a wirrrrr or wooooosh sound on every power stroke? Take off the chain, check that it is not worn out compleatly, clean and lube, reinstall. Go for a ride! A quick way to check for a warn chain is to, get it on the big front chain ring, pull the chain forward and see if you can see a full tooth. If you can...the chain is worn out. Your LBS will check the chain for you also, especially if you are about to buy a new one.
Good luck
