I had pedal-click once that was mis-diagnosed as BB noise. When my new BB started to make noise, I thought it would be the pedals, but it wasn't. I ended up tearing the crank/BB down, re-greasing everything, and STILL having a tick! What fixed it was tearing it down (again) and putting teflon tape on the BB threads. It's silent now.

Incidentally...it's back.
Taking the pedals off did remove the ticking, but not for very long. I could just keep taking them off and on again constantly, but I'm concerned about the safety of that idea. I'm sure at some point they wouldn't be tight enough or something, and I'd only learn that along the way. Plus that doesn't really seem like a good long-term solution.
Any thoughts?

It's probably not the part of the pedal axle that spins or screws onto the crank....it's the bearings INSIDE the pedal axle. Thus, greasing the outside spinning parts of the pedals is not going to really solve this. Originally Posted by kfergos

You have to open the axle itself and clean/regrease the bearings. Or.....buy new pedals.Lisa
