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.
And after all of this and it still does it ,yes replace the seal bottom bucket .
