you should* replace the entire chain when it breaks. new chains every so often helps the rest of your drivetrain last longer.

*but there's only one way to find out if the noise will go away...

I'm guessing you have a stiff link. You should be able to loosen. Just google loosen stiff chain link and see how it goes
