Post Creaking/Farting noise when car starts?

Everytime I start my car it makes a weird creaking/farting noise in the front and I can't make out what it's from, does this happen to anyone else? What is causing the noise? The noise isn't coming from my front seat

I sometimes get a creaking noise when starting up or at low RPMs rolling through a parking lot. It comes and goes, seems less common in warmer weather. It's been doing that for a year or so now, and I couldn't get the dealer to reproduce it, so... Just to let you know you might not be the only one, if my issue is in fact the same as yours.

Yes. Doesn't always happen, but happens enough that I've noticed it.

Yeah - I get the gassy noise too when I first turn the car on, fairly often. Thought it was just mine lol.

Sounds like carbon build-up on the intake manifold. How many miles on your car?

Mine does the same thing. I think it’s something with the hvac system.
