Default creaking sound from break/suspension?

My new A4 is giving me some weird creaking noise that seems to be coming from the front left side. The sound is only there when breaking to a stop, accelerating from a stop, or when going over a bump. I don't think the noise is coming from the suspension though. When I drive over a bump without breaking, there is no noise. When I break before a bump and then drive over the bump, the noise is there. So I'm wondering whether it has something to do with the breakes being released. Anyone else hearing this noise? Is this normal?

Default Could be your control arms. I'd take it somewhere to get it looked at

if you don't know much about it.

Default control arms?

mine creak every time I go over bumps, or even just jack my car up. I just learned yesterday that it's supposed to be covered under Audi Assured so take it to the dealer and have them look at it.
