Is this Japanese Maple Dying

The outer bark is damaged. This, I believed happened 3 years ago that part just fell off one day. Now we notice that some limbs don’t produce dense leaves and other limbs do.

Anything we can do to make things better?

Is this noise common?

I have been riding this Uthald Ultimate for last 10 months or so and it's been really good so far. Since last 2 months I hear this noise a few minutes after I start my ride and then it (most likely) disappears or maybe fades away in the noise of environment I am riding in. But when I get back and park my bike I hear it again for a while before it goes away.

This noise you hear in the video is from the bike when it's parked and not being moved at all. This started about a month or two back and that is also when summer started (70 - 80 degrees). Could it be some kind of heat related expansion and contraction?

It seems to be coming from both front and back side, I feel somewhere from the wheel.
