For safety reasons please have the brakes inspected as soon as possible. Honestly there is more cause for creaking and may or may not have been there before the repairs. I am a full-time mechanic and from time to time have a customer complaint about a noise that wasn't there before the work was performed. Don't get me wrong though, you may be right. If you are then it may be bolts or nuts that was not properly torqued, a surface that wasn't properly cleaned before reassembly or human error. The technician may have missed something or for a necessary step. A faulty caliper with piston issues, a caliper mounting bracket with damaged sliders and or improperly cleaned surfaces where the shims and brake pads slide could all be suspect. The pistons, sliders and brake pads should all move and slide freely, without play. The mechanic may test drive the vehicle to confirm your complaint, inspect all the brake components located behind the wheels and report their findings. If nothing is found they will need to look elsewhere. Hope this helps. Please let me know if there is anything else. Good luck.
Your transmission chain and reduction pulley, and or step chain need to be checked.
It could just be the transmission chain is on just a little too tight, causing the creaking or that the step chain/s just need a little grease on them (which is likely the culprit to any creaking).

Most likely the slack adjuster is rusted. this doesn't keep the brake against the drum/rotor. Could be the bolts that go into the rotor type brakes are frozen. Won't slide in and out.
The four rubber grommets where the string is attached to the limbs need some DRY lubricant. When drawing, the grommets 'slip', and that slip 'plucks' at the string creating the creaks. Keep applying dry graphite to these points and the bow will quiet up nicely.
The exact nature of the creaking is important, and you have not provided enough info to narrow down the problem. The only "creaking" noise I have ever heard like that was coming from the front wheel. If it is going "creak -creak-creak" and changes as the car changes speed, I would check that.
My wife drives a 2003 GMC Envoy and has been complaining about this same creaking noise upon breaking or going over speed humps. I researched this topic on the internet high and low and tried everything I read to no avail. I was about to give up and then realized it could be the motor mounts since when you break or go over bumps the engine does have some movement. Sprayed the most interesting looking motor mounts I've ever seen with silicone spray and the noise was gone! My wife has been complaining for years about this noise and now looking back what a simple solution!. By the way my motor mounts where not worn out, the rubber portion of the mount just needed a little lube.
In some freezers they build up excessive vacuum which pulls the plastic housing away from the internal polyurethane insulation, hence the creaking sound. You can make a vacuum breaker by attaching a small stick or similar to the bottom of the door gasket, this will break the vacuum without losing temperature.
You might have the lower swing arm bushing checked mine slid of the bushing but stayed in the cradle on the passengers side.Only made noise when ibacked or turned sharp left.
