Yes and no Apollo.
There are loads of different reasons for squeaks.
Changes in humidity and temperature can affect the wood greatly.
The talcum powder trick helps with the kind of sound generated by two boards rubbing together when you stand on one and it flexes a little.
Pour the talc on the ground and sweep it into the cracks between your boards then wipe away any excess.
