2016 LX Rear creaking-body flex?

I've noticed a creaking sound coming from my rear suspension when I pull into my driveway. That seems to be the only place it occurs. The driveway is at an angle from the street.

I took it to the dealership where they said it's common to make that sound but they would look at it anyway. They said they believe the noise was coming from the jumper cables I keep under the cargo area and it should be quiet now. Lo and behold, when I got home, the noise was still there.

Is this just a normal annoyance or should I take it to another dealership? Is this something I can fix myself?

Happens on my EX too even after the progressive sway bar. I'm thinking of installing the Beatrush rear pillar.
