Default Body creak

last night I was driving my car and it started making a weird creaking sound specifically around evn the smallest bumps. Feels like it's coming from the right front. Doesn't feel like it's in the cabin. There is nothing in my trunk. I pushed up and down on the fender but no creak/squeak. Any ideas? Will call my dealer tomorrow just wanted some input
Thanks
Caesar

Sounds travels in strange ways in a car. Both of my 06 and 08 997.1 cars had the same creaking noise related to the driver's side rear quarter glass. The noise could be anything from loose trim to something in the suspension. Have someone in the passenger seat see if they can get closer to the noise while you drive.

My first guess would be to spray lube fr/r suspension to see if that does it. Focus on rubber bushings.

Well, interestingly enough it was raining on Saturday night(first time in the rain since I bought my car). I drove it yesterday and no noise. Could it be something as simple as the passenger window against the rubber gasket rubbing? I will have to wait for rain again and see if rolling the window down "fixes" the problem

Rain usually lubricates rubber suspension bushing temporarily quieting them down. When they are dry agian, offending rubber bushings start making noise again.

Consistent w suspension bushing suggestion, no?
