    squeaky floor
    my floor is built on I beams (2x3 top and bottom with an 8 inch by 7/16 chipboard between them )
    It is covered with 5/8 inch plywood ( supposedly with glue between plywood and I beam ) then nailed.
    The problem in question is, that floor is finished with ceramic tiles and now various parts of the floor started squeaking.
    How do I eliminate that nagging squeak ?

    Do you have good access to the underside of the floor from the basement? Sure hope you answer yes.
