Allan Noyces travel. Instead of looking at the trap system, check to make sure the action brackets are seated properly. Take a look at the damper rod pivots. How about where the pedal rod goes into the damper rod. Willem (Wim) Blees, RPT Piano Tuner/Technician 94-505 Kealakaa Str.

I Always Find The Source of a Noise But not this time! Yamaha C-109 from 1988. I tried everything I know. Usually, the plastic bushings are worn and switching them with the ones from the other pedal, less used, corrects the situation. Done that, but the "tick" was still there. I switched the connecting rod (with the wing nut) that has a plastic seat beneath the pedal) ...tic . isolated that rod from the hole it is going through with leather ...tic I switched the plastic cup that the spring sits in....tic A squeak may come from the floor of the piano that has come loose. Prying the floor up sometimes shows this as the source....tic Any idea from your knowledge? Thank you.
