Check saddle position and height, so your not over extending your leg on the downstroke(should have a slight bend in the knee). I've had similar, joint sounds, coming from my left knee years back. Found out, all I needed was just a few mm of adjustment on the saddle and the creaking stopped. A few mm, does make a difference.

another rule of thumb being that your knee should not be forward of the pedal axle when the crank is at the 3 o'clock position, rather even or just slightly behind.
i had to move my seat back to accomplish this and it made a big difference in comfort for my rebuilt knee.
best option would be to go to a (reputable) shop for an actual fitting. it really does make a difference.

Maybe your knees are bent too much at the top of the pedal stroke? In which case you might need to raise the saddle. I know I had almost immediate knee issues when my MTB saddle dropped too low while out on a ride.
