Pedal clicking, help

Hi, I have a new bike ( month or so old), Cube LTD Pro 2015
Every time I turn the cranks there is a clicking sound and tiny vibration. It always happens in the exact same spot and is bugging the hell out of me. I hear and feel the sound coming from the pedals and when I tighten them they are ok for about 100 meters. But after that they start to click again but at a different angle of the crank.

Please help, would buying a new pair of pedals fix it?

    Will be pedal bearings, either strip and rebuild or buy new ones!

    I had the same thing with my Shimano M520s, only the left pedal strangely but giving them a service sorted it out.

    A month old product being faulty? Could be but sounds far fetched.

    Have you tried removing the pedals and smearing a tiny bit of copper grease on the thread? Then reinstalling?

    Also how sure are you that it is coming from the pedals and not the seatpost clamp or stem? Have had similar before on a new bike.
