Check the rubber mounts under the rear springs to make sure they are on correctly - sometimes they can jump a bit out of their sockets and cause the springs to make noise.

I've noticed 2 weird noises yesterday when changing my oil and switching my wheels...

1. When I removed the oil filter, the fit gurgled at me... sounded like the fit had indigestion.

2. the left side of the fit seems heavier than the right side. When lifting up the car, I've noticed that the left rear wheel sounds like it's making the creaking noise.

I've noticed creaks and cracks and lots of wind noise at freeway speed, I fix them all with one simple step... I turn the radio up until I can't hear them anymore. Works like a charm.

I actually sometimes use the wind noise to measure fuel efficiency. If the wind noise is too loud, it means that energy is being loss by producing sound from high airflow being deflected off the car.

Talking Creaking sound when chassis torqued

In my 09 Fit I am hearing a creaking soung from left rear when I enter an alley or cross a speed bump diagonally. When I cross either obstacle at a 90 degree angle--no creaking! Dealership has replaced struts and internal mouldings to no effect. I think they are using me for unneeded warranty charges!
My daughter's 09 Fit has no such creaking (20K more miles on odo).
Any suggestions on where I could apply lubricant or examine for part alignment based on the above?

get the lubricant, get under your car, spray above and below the spring on the rubber spring seat things. Then report back to us

Getting Haloween ready... Yeah that's it.

As already posted, common squeak sources are springs...
