Is it possible to have vinyl nearly noise free?

I’ve been cleaning my vinyl starting with spin clean then using Orbitrac cleaning then do a vacuum with record dr. And finally putting on gruv glide..and I still hear some ticks and pops. Is it impossible to get it nearly completely quiet? Would like to ask all the analog audiophiles out there. Please share what is the best method and sequence to clean vinyl..thx everyone.

 @whart what Bill said...
all of the various formats have merits and drawbacks. Given an existing collection and limited funds, taking good care of what you have is a best practice IMO....

Like Uber, I really enjoy the one buck minty find or a disc that can be rescued with enzyme cleaners....miracle stuff !!!!

but I also spend for new vinyl which has an amazing range of quality, like the normal distribution, only worse due to the number of masters, stampers, pressing plants.  The key is are YOU happy ?

enjoy the music!!!!
