Seems to be coming from the drivetrain, and only starts a couple of miles into a ride. I took it to my local shop but they couldn’t find anything wrong.

must have been the wind…
It happens consistently when the right crank is positioned forward.
Does it still happen when barely applying pressure to the pedal in that position?
I’d suspect in order:
The right side pedal bearings needing maintenance.
Bottom bracket needing maintenance.
Loose fastener on crank.
Check the side of your shoe isn’t rubbing on the crank arm on either side. Sounds daft but I’ve had an issue like that before.
Recheck your pedals. One of my pedals was making the same noise. The rubber seal by the spindle was dry, after lubing it up the squeak went away.
Sounds like a rubber squeez. Try lubing the rubber parts around the crank and pedals
Your shoe is rubbing the crank
does that sound happen with other riders as well ?
it can be anything. including your clothing. my shoes are set quite close to the cranks. sometimes they rub making simmilar sound.
Once on a long ride my bibshorts created same sound rubbing against seat.
however, as a rule of thumb : If I cannot find source of an creek , I take it as a sign , that complete service is overdue. bike is not that complicated. Just take it apart to the last screw, inspect everything, clean and inspect once more, then assemble carefully – noise should have vanished….
