Without the proper tools you'll likely make it worse. Take it to the LBS, *insist* they remove, clean, and reseat the BB. I tried everything; pedals, freehub, skewers, and it was the BB90 all along.

I tried new greased pedals, tiny bit better
Check Thru-axle....cleaned it...tiny degrease
checked QR
its still only when I stand on the pedals to accelerate....
hmm...what next?
undo the non-drive side crank, (looks like a 8mm hex) clean and grease it?

Check your saddle. I had one on my Secture that made noise and the frame amplified the sound. Easy test is does it creek when standing?
