Mine does it too, Its the Handbrake Take the handbrake off and test for yourself thats How I isolated the noise.
its not much of a bother.

could it the the alignment of the headlights(auto leveling)?

if not handbrake (Sounds probable) check if it occurs as passenger exits. Check again with foot on brake.
Several cars I have had gave a bit of a 'creak' on exiting due to brakes..
Could also be upholstery material venting. Check on how quickly getting up or sitting.

I get noises from the handbrake if I don't pull them up hard enough, sometimes pretty loud too. But the dealer said that it was normal.

Hi Guys,

I figured it out last night. It's the handbrake causing the noise. I tried to pull it harder and this stopped the noise.

Actually I'm quite surprised that I need to use that much strength to pull the handbrake... But anyway problem solved
