Default Clutch noise

I have a '07 MCS, and for the last year or so the clutch has been making the weirdest noise when I engage and disengage it. It creaks. Almost like an old floorboard. It doesn't affect the operation of the clutch, its more of a mild annoyance. The weirdest part of it is that this only seems to happen when the temperature in the car warms up. Like if I have the heat blowing on my feet in the winter. No noise at first during winter driving, but when the interior warms up, the creaking starts. And it does it all the time in the summer. The hotter the interior, the more creaking there is.

I've mentioned this to the techs three different times when I take it in. I've mentioned that I think it seems to only happen when the interior is warm. But 3 times I've gotten the car back saying there doesn't seem to be a problem with it. But it still creaks.

I'm hoping someone here might know what might be causing this, or can give me an idea about what I should explain to the techs to make them look into it a little deeper.

Thanks.

I'd try lubing the pivot points on the pedal ....
