My guess would be the strut braces needing torquing at the firewall.
+1 on strut braces. They need to be at 31 or 32 ft lbs and they tend to come loose. I put blue loctite on mine as recommended by other forum members and retightened and have not experienced the knocking/creaking anymore. Another thing is to check the sway bar end links in the front. Also check the rear strut braces underneath the car, those have a tendency to strip out the threads themselves.
