I'll just get use to it or not use that seat

I probably shouldn't say this, having posted above, but put a drop or two of oil as far as you can around each rivet at the back on the inside (ie, where the steel frame is). Likewise a drop or two around the bolt and where it rubs on the rest of the frame. Don't go ape about it, just a drop or two.
I have a titanium Swallow that also creaks, and because the leather is shaped differently from the B17 with no skirts, I have tensioned the bolt several times over its lifetime. A tiny bit of lube helps with the noise.
