Dodgy noises from pedal area

SurferMick

Got some horrible, dodgy noises comming from the pedal area of my Giant. its my first bike since childhood - so i'm a little rusty on maintenance issues. I've cleaned it with a muc-off kit once since buying it about two months ago. it seems clean but im hearing, not exactly grinding noises when i pedal, but it sn't a comforting sound whatever it is. Could be front mech, not sure

Anyone got any good ideas (I've bought some GT 85 spray but not had chance to get near the bike with it yet)

Could be the bottom bracket or pedal axles.
