Try swapping your pedals with a known-quiet pair, preferably platform type to eliminate cleat and shoe noise.
Clean and lube the threads and the mating surfaces and torque correctly.

Do the same clean/lube(threads only)/torque the chainring bolts.

Ensure that a cable end is not "ticking" against the crank or your shoe.

Try pedaling out of the saddle to rule out saddle/rail/seatpost noise.

Pull the BB and clean/lube threads/reinstall with correct torque; 36-50 lbf-ft for Shimano.
