Gremlin noises could be literally anything.
And many of them share similarities. For example, a creaking bottom bracket can make the same sounds as a creaking seatpost. I don't just lube the threads anymore more my bottom brackets. I also slap some teflon tape on them. For the seatpost, taking it out and lubricating it again, and tightening it down is the only way to remove the creaking; unless your seatpost clamp is so spent that only replacing it will stop the creaking.
