This is your guy Just make sure to get the english/68mm version and not the italian one.
Before you buy it though do more checking that it's your bottom bracket. I'd start with taking the chain off and seeing you if you can get the noise back. Then take off the cranks off and make sure they're greased in all the right spots. Take a look at the bottom bracket, try greasing it, then reinstall and try again.
Then make sure your crank is properly tightened. Omniums need that nds bolt to be pretty tight. You can check that by lightly pushing the arm toward the frame and pulling it back. If you wiggles and feels like it kinda shifting (as opposed to flexing) then you need to tighten the bolt.
i know you said you were going to take it to the shop. if you do, buy the SRAM Team GXP BB.
this job requires only 1 specialized tool however, and if you have any inclination to do it yourself it's one of the simpler things you can do at home.

Thinking about it... Might be a good way to get into maintaining it myself. Is this bracket right for me?

I'm having a hard time parsing the description... "It's compatible with all SRAM road and Truvativ mountain cranksets." I have a Truvativ road crankset, is it still compatible? Based on some comments, it looks like i should ignore manufacturers instructions and not use any spacers. Also, it looks like I'll need a tool to tighten the bracket from the outside. I've seen a few youtube videos that use torque wrenches to tighten from the inside, what kind of torque wrench would I need for the outside tightening tool. Thanks, and sorry if the questions don't make sense, I'm not sure what to call some of the stuff.
