Firstly, I would like to state that the car is only 9 weeks old but has developed a slight "Creeking" noise from both the from and rear when I go over the ASDA mountains of speed bumps, but no noise on the speed cushions. I don't fly over them as I want to look after the car as its my first new car I've owned.

I remember that my old mans mazda 5 had the same noise, but the noise was present at all times with the car. It turned out to be his front lower arm bushes (And this was after 3-4 months IIRC).

I'm just slightly concerned of the noise. Anyone else experiencing it?
 
Are you sure its the car and not the cheap speed humps that have loose bolts that Asda have fitted?
 
Give each corner of the car a good push down to see if you can replicate the noise. Give you a better idea where to look but could be any number of different causes.
 
Yea, im planning a bounce test tomorrow morning as I'm off work. Also got a rubbing llike noise under either lock and moving slowly, might have to remove wheel to examine it further.
 
My money Is on the rubber spring mounts either against the body or the rear beam my last gp did this and the Evo has started I jacked the car dropped the rear beam cleaned and silicone greased the rubbers where they contact the car and put back together and it was quieter than a mouse

Mine has started doing this on one corner, dealer insist they can't hear anything. I might give your fix a go if I wasn't chucking the car back at them in two years.
