Well, you might check the following;

remove stack and check for noisy keys if not there check wippen and
hammer actions.

Keys;
balance pin holes
balance pin location in button mortise
Front rail bushings for noise
key leads
Backcheck tenon
key tops
Front rail pins hitting bottom of mortise

Action
Check capstan location on cushion
Pinning of all centers
Jack hitting back, front or sides of mortise
Wippens hitting each other
Center pins working out
Wippen spring hitting wood
Wippen helper springs being hit by hammer tails

Well, even if these are all OK it should reveal itself by this jprocess.

Lots of luck.
