I've checked the bottom bracket for bearing play, the pedal itself and everything else connected and can find no cause. Everything is smooth and tight. Maybe it's the way I'm pedaling? I'm not worried about it if it isn't a mechanical problem, but it is somewhat annoying.

I tightened my crank arms and that helped me, but that sound came back, but if I am right, you can reduce that noise by switching to a lower gear and spinning up to speed on the crank, then shifting up to the higher gear.
