Default ...Sudden creaking/suspension noise after brake/rotor replacement

Hi, picked up my ‘14 Q7 TDi last weekend. It ran beautifully, having been babied by the prior owner for its 33,000 miles. We knew it needed brake and rotors so I took it to the dealer today. Picked it up just before they closed, got on the road and suddenly there is insane cabin/suspension noise. Squeaking, creaking, it’s worse than my 14yr old Honda Pilot, worse than the ‘89 Citroen I drove back in the 90s with the famed suspension.... There is no way I’d have purchased the car if this noise had been present, so it must be a result of the work today. Any ideas on what is causing this, or if this is a normal side effect of b/r replacement?

I spent 4 years working for an auto manufacturer, looking for issues in brand new vehicles so I’m 100% confident this was not an oversight by me. I’ve clambered all through the trunk and middle row since I got home, looking for a culprit, nothing. I will call the AoA dealer first thing tomorrow but until then I was hoping for some online expert wisdom, if possible.

thank you!

PS. Rear brakes and rotors were replaced only. Sound is not when braking or turning, it's on any bump/level change on road.
