Check your tires for a stuck rock / pebble that got caught in the treads.....

loose lug nut ? find a wall and the sound should get louder and easy to find. a loose lug will give a creaking sound

How many miles? do you have wheel hop issues under acceleration?

i have 27k miles and i do get wheel hop, but i dont accelerate hard at low speeds so i dont cause the wheel hop....but i did just get the car back from the shop fixing something else...and i was thinking the mechanics were out thrashing my car...i didnt hear the sound before i dropped it of at the shop

I have a similar issue. Plastic-on-plastic type clicking sound coming from rear wheel area (both sides it seems) when driving over bumps at slow speeds. (3-25mph) Lug nuts have been checked.

Did you check your C/V joints?

Also check the sway bar mounts...

That's what I'm thinking.
