Process of elimination afraid, but Sometimes what seems like the culprit isn't. Sometime back I had a mystery creak and thought it was the bottom bracket, turned out to be the rear skewer needed cleaning and re-greasing.

Eliminate the easy/cheap things first

Skewers
Seat post cleaned regressed
Change to a Spare set of old pedals?
Etc..

If that don't work start by elimating stuff you have to spend money on

Same thing happend to me a while ago. Cleaned and re greased the bb, seat post , pedals and skewers. Finally tracked it down to my stem, handelbar area 🙄 Even though I was convinced the sound was coming from below me.
