My sram red axs is making this freaking noise almost like a bottom bracket creak when applying pressure only in the small front chainring, all back gears though. I have done everything, torqued bb, torqued cranks, chainring bolts, rear deraulier, cassette, thru axle, and anything else I could think of to no avail. I think it could be the front deraulier maybe a rubbing, it honestly doesn’t sound like it but I’m out of ideas, has anyone experienced this?

Have you installed a new chain recently?
Noises are a tough one. Get the cassette pulled, grease all the surfaces, reinstall to torque. Light grease on all the hub axle caps. Even then it could be light rust on the bearings touching the axle, that will need a rebuild.
The cranks may need pulled, the powermeter/ring combo removed, cleaned, light grease of all mating surfaces, loctite the bolts, light grease on the bolt heads.
Could be BB, that might need pulled cleaned and greased.
My experience has been when sorrows come, they come not in single spies but it battalions. So creaks are never alone, it’s usually in 3s.
I forgot, I have had Der hangers creak before too. Pop that guy off, clean, light grease on mating surfaces, and reinstall.
