Creeking noise when engaging gears

First off, I know things in the cabin will start to loosen & creek over time. However, the noise seems to come from the bottom of the car. It kinda hard to describe exactly where the creeking noise is coming from, either under the pedals or shifter. When I engage first gear and starting moving, I heard the noise then it goes away. As soon as I shift to second, the noise comes back and so on for the rest of the gears. Any idea what's the cause??? Clutch problems???

Might be your throwout bearing, but seems unlikely because your car is pretty new. How many miles and still on stock clutch?

Oh and does it do it in neutral while pumping the clutch too? Or only in gear?

Sure np! Yeah if it does it in neutral too then it sounds like your TOB. I wouldn't really go through all the effort to change only because of the sound. Just wait until your clutch goes out and change it then.

My car is doing the same exact thing and I just recently had the clutch replaced. Everytime I push the clutch pedal in, it makes that creeking sound.

Doesn't do it in neutral, only when I depress the accelerator.
