I bought my bike new 3 weeks ago and I’ve been commuting daily since. It’s done about 150 miles (240km) total. So far it’s been good but lately I’ve been hearing a creaking/clicking sound whenever I apply more pressure on my left pedal. The right pedal makes a similar sound albeit not as loud. I’m trying to figure out which component is causing the noise.

I think can rule out the seat as I was able to recreate the noise by pushing down hard on the left pedal when the bike is motionless. Can someone help me identify potential causes of the noise?

    Forgot to mention that the noise does not occur when I’m coasting or braking. So it seems to me something in the drivetrain is causing this
