The sound is most likely the upper strut mounts flexing against where they mount to the body. I doubt a strut bar does anything to solve the issue as the suspension still has to go through its arc of travel.

I spray'd some lubricant on the rear deck corners where the metal touches metal, that stopped the creaking
