Levo Gen 2 Creaking when pumping/releasing weight

[MSH]

OK guys, this is getting me crazy.

I have a Levo 2021 S-works and the creaking sound is making me insane.

The sounds comes when I'm releasing weight, as in chattery trails, pumping up and down, etc..

When I'm seated (applying weight/pressure on the bike) and pedaling there is no or minimal creak but when I'm in "weightless" situation or pumping the bike I heard creaks or kind of a knocking sound.

What could possibly causing this?

Everything is torqued accordingly, all greased up, I have greased the seat tube and seat rails too, also the head tube, shocks eyelets.. Everything I can think off, even greased the battery holding screw.

Please, need help before I loose my mind.

Check for debris between the frame and chain stay. Just my .02

This is probably a long shot, but did you grease the front shock bushing? I recently switched to an EXT coil and thought my maddening creak was the head tube, but it turned out to be that shock bushing.

The biggest difference between being in a seated position and in the ready position is that in the seated position the rear triangle typically only moves from the sag position upwards, whereas in the ready position the rear triangle can be made free to move down more beyond the SAG position. So check if anything fouls between the chainstays and seat tube for instance, or in the shock linkages.
