Depends on where the sound is coming from, can you be a bit more specivic?

Is it a creaking or a rattling?

Please do. Assuming you've got a Hardrock, it might be where the cable is housed, all my freakin' cables are creaking, I'm gonna kill the guys at the LBS :p They were supposed to have fixed the rubber seal things on my fork and stopped the creaking. They did every tune up I could imagine yet they didn't do what I was most concerned about. :S
