I'm riding a steel frame, and all errant noises can be easily traced. When I was riding the carbon fiber Trek, I'd get all sorts of untraceable sounds.

It is a steel frame. Went to the LBS today for something else but mentioned the noise to the mechanic. He thought the most likely source is a bad pedal. We talked about the seat post and he recommended making sure the post was well greased. I have done that and ordered anew pedal. If that doesn't do it, on to the more expensive components. Or maybe wait and see if it gets worse.
