cracking unknown

i just bought a norco sasquatch 2005 model and when i pedal hard there is a cracking sound. i took it to the bike shop and they checked the b/bracket and couldnt stop it. they said it could be the pedals or the hub. does anyone have any ideas to fix it?

Get them to warranty it, whatever it is?

I have seen some with bb thread issues that were fixed by using plumbers tape or loctite on the bb shell. Aluminum frames tend to accentuate these minor creaks into terrible sounds, but by all means pay attention to them.
See what you can do for warranty service. They want happy customers, so be unhappy(not irate) until you get it fixed.
