Talcum powder; sprinkle it all over the floor (remove carpets first), then brush gently into the cracks.[/quote]

i wonder if 30mm brads are quite long enough? were they secret fixings, toenailled at an angle thru the tongues? you may find that they have pulled loose in places and the creaking is the timber rubbing on the nails.
