Creaking sucks ass. In my books it's an excuse to put a bolt in half cage in the car. :D

well loud enough to hear it over the exhaust and music .......only seems to do when the car has been driving for a while ..... but it feels and sounds so bad!. if it gets anyworse may have to have a serious look at finding out what it is.

is it like a scratching noise? or a metal-to-metal type noise? a sort of pinging creaking noise? is it some other noise? hehe

no its its a sorta deep metal sound ....a bit like a short door hinge creak but deep sounding almost a bit like a clunking noise but it is when the brakes or accerates .....if that explains it well enough
