The last creak I chased on my 2018 Norco Sight (also a 140mm/130mm) Norco full suspension, ended up being the air can of my new Float X.
I took apart and greased everything; cranks, chainring, derailleur hanger, headset, seat post, saddle rails, every pivot point on the bike. Nothing would make it go away. I stumbled across a thread on MTBR with a rider having the same issues and suggested to check the air can.
Took the air out of the can, unthreaded with a strap wrench and added some grease to the threads. Creak gone. It's absolutely wild how sounds can resonate through the frame of a bike and sound like they are coming from somewhere else.
