Clicking Noise At My Bike Rear Wheel

I bought this bike 2 months ago. I began to notice a clicking noise at every evolution of the rear wheel. It is more pronounced when I sit on the bike than when I just spin the wheel. I attached the video to this message. I will appreciate your suggestions on how to get this fixed.

Welcome aboard!

Bike noises can be very difficult to diagnose — even for experienced cyclists, and especially over the internet. Your video and some info about your bike might have been helpful, but I don't see the video. Upload it to YouTube, then post the link.

Unfortunately, your shortest path to a solution is a local bike shop.

Good luck!
 
See if all spokes feel equally taut. A loose spoke can allow lateral movement when the hub is hanging by it, and that can make a click. After checking by feel, I make finer adjustments by tapping each spoke with my spoke wrench to be sure all sound similarly tight.
 
The thing to do with a double walled aluminum rim is to put a couple of BBs between the walls. The sound goes away at speed. Then crazy glue one BB inside each schrader valve cap, so when the caps are tightened air is slowly released. And if it has an external PAS magnet wheel, then reverse its polarity, so the bike will only go full speed when pedaled backwards.
