Stoptechs creaking???

My Stoptechs keep creaking like an old mattress when I brake. It doesn't do it that much when cold, but when they heat up, they get louder.

You can even hear it when pressing the brake pedal at a stop.

The driver's side is worse...pass side never did it before, but started making the noise.

Is it the pads? Seals? Everything is bolted in securely.
Any ideas?
