The house is almost 50 years old. I think it's oak.

I've heard sprinkling dusting/baby powder in the crevices stops sqeaking.
Here's some good videos... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RQ8WA7f7sSU

If it isn't carpeted try rubbing baby powder over the boards, enough to fill the small gaps between the boards.
