My solution has always been to remove all the components I suspect the noise is located, thoroughly clean and re-grease or add other lubricants. Sometimes it takes some investigation since what is causing the noise may present itself in another location due to how steel frames flex when pedaling. For example, what may seem like a seatpost tick could actually be coming from the saddle or saddle rails.
