Leonard Zinn says "no", Daimeon Shanks (Garmin wrench) says "yes" (scroll up to "1").
The internet in general is evenly split.
I've ruled-out all the usual suspects and all that's left is the coupling as the source of a metal-on-metal, creaking/splintering noise, that is directly related to how hard I'm pushing the cranks, both on and off the saddle.
I had exactly the same noise with the previous alloy cranks, now got the same with freshly installed crabon: fitted by me, torqued by LBS.
