Creaking Noise. Help if you can.

Hey everyone!

Here i am with another question for the pros to answer! When i pedal i hear a creaking noise and i searched this forum for possible answers but i have not had any luck finding the correct answer. I went on sheldons website and tried his suggestions, which i will list.

I took out the seat post and sprayed grease (not WD40) in the seat post hole and actual seat post.
I tightened all bolts that hold the chain rings.
I took out the crank arms and greased the square tapper.
I took out the bottom sealed bracket and creased the retainers and re-tightened the bottom bracket.
I Greased the chain and cleaned it.
I tightened the rear derailleur and made sure the sprockets guides are tight and greased.
I also made sure the crank bolts were tight.
I also overhauled the rear hub just in case.

I can say that its in the bottom bracket and/or crank set.

if you guys could maybe give me a hand in what the world i could do to stop this annoying creaking i would great greatly greatly appreciate your help!
