+1 to an over tightened chain.

Make sure your crank bolts are tight?

Not on a FG.
I would be super pissed if my drivetrain made a lot of noise so I can see where OP is coming from. Sadly, no recommendation aside from grease.

The noise is produced by lack of grease and subpar bevelling on cog/chain. So if either looks squarish at the contact area you know who the culprit is.
