I had this too. Went away now but when I think about it, I did clean out my car and had some stuff behind the seat on the rear floor. Maybe something is sitting there causing the creaking? Sometimes it's as simple as that.

I have it too. I think it's where the seat belt rubs. Take your belt off and see if the sound goes away

Yes tried it today, the sound goes away if i take the belt off, its the belt buckle holster that is attached to the seat causing the creaking sound as it rubbing with the seat leather when the belt is strapped, whats the remedy? what can be done to solve this issue?

Thanks..

And you rolled your eyes at the thought. Tsk Tsk. I wrapped a small piece of cloth around it. It's down between the seat and the console so no one can see it

The seat belt receptacle rubs against the seat leather in my car. Thinking about applying the fuzzy part of some velcro to the back of the receptacle.

Not sure if thats the same issue as OP, but that's what I've noticed with mine. I'm too darn skinny.
