Replacing squeaky chipboard flooring with plywood

I replaced all the boards with 22mm chipboard and there is basically no improvement... I didn't bother gluing down as I could tell the floorboards are not the issue, the joists are the things that are creaking. Standing on the joists directly with no boards still creaked. Could I try sistering the joists perhaps?
As mentioned, put noggins everywhere. This will stabilise the whole lot.
Literally, 3x2s cut individually for every location, to the mm and screwed with 4no. 5x70mm screws per noggin.
