Usually creak if the caliper/disc/pad aren't quite aligned square, the pressure from the pedal squares them up and the creak is the flex in the caliper and disc as they move under the pressure.
Check all the mating surfaces under the caliper bolts and hub under the disc are all clean and true. If it doesn't help, try slackening the caliper bolts, have someone press the pedal and see if you can see any movement. If not, torque the bolts mounting the calipers up whilst someone keeps some pressure on the pedal to keep everything square, and see if that fixes it.
If you can see movement, you might need to file off any corrosion to get the mountings back square and use a bit of shim steel to centre the caliper back up.
