If you shine light through it you will see the feather and some white colored plastic. Attach a straw to the spray can and place it in the port and try to hit as many corners as possible. Then lay the chair down on all sides for a few minutes to allow the lubricant to saturate and coat every hole.
You will now notice that some other grease is running out of the seat, which is not a problem. You can place the chair upright again. You won't notice an immediate reduction in sound, but after about an hour of sitting and leaning back and forth, the sound will A LOT to be better. The next day the sound is no longer audible.
Tip: Lubricating spray has a chemical smell, so make sure you put the chair in a well-ventilated area. Make sure you let the chair move a lot, after you have used the spray, this way the lubricant will reach the right place everywhere.
