We're in California, it could be the earth moving.

Seriously though, need a lot more info to have any idea what the noise could possibly be, or where it's coming from.

BTW, how much do you weigh

i get some creaking on cold days but i think thats from the A-pillar. otherwise if you liberally lubed the sway bar bushings it shouldnt make any noise

I had the same problem. When I went to check, I realized that I didn't torque the rear lca to the right setting. Check your sway, that might be the problem

under tighten. I ended up torquing it at 80 ft/lbs and it's perfect now.
