i dont think the problem is in the cranks as i am hearing the sound coming from the chain i wouldn't say its the most greased one but its not bone dry. The tension got set by my local bike mechanic and it doesnt seem too tight although it has uneven tension despite the price tag on all the components. also he said he is super against chain tensioners like the ones from velobike pulling it back he said that they can bend the frame
so i would like to hear your suggestions and comments about the chain tensioner horror stories

Chain tensioners could never bend your frame, you pedalling puts way more pressure on the seat stays/drop outs anyways…
Your chain is dry if it makes that sound, put oil on all the links, give the crank a good spin and wipe off the excess with a dry cloth.
Also, even the most high end cranks have uneven chain tension…
U need chain lube, and it’s too tight
