Hi, today I bought my first road bike (Ultimate CF SL 7 AXS) and I noticed on my first ride a loud noise when I pedal (both forward and backward). Is this noise normal? Until now, I’ve only had an MTB, and on MTB (Grand canyon 6) the noise isn’t nearly as loud.
Also the brakes make a bubbly noise when braking at high speed, but I can’t reproduce it at home. Do the brakes need some time to settle in?

Just sounds like you need to adjust your derailleur
Micro-adjust the rear derailleur:

Yes, the SRAM brakes sometimes makes that sound. Will improve after the pads are bedded in.
Unfortunately the rumbling sound of SRAM AXS brakes are part of their characteristics, so nothing wrong with them.
Look up Swiss Stop RS35 (I think) pads.
