Metal creaking noise when braking

For the ones that have already picked up their new Ascent, I noticed a slight metal creaking noise when I am braking to a stop. Doesn't happen all the time but a lot.

At first I thought that it will go away because being new, the metal components are just settling in but is getting worried that it might be something else.

Anyone else noticing this?

Our Ascent never made a braking noise. We took it in for the heater bolt recall and when we picked it up it now makes a clunk when braking at about 5 mph. We brought it back. Dealer says it is norm9al. They want 160$ to diagnose it. Seems very odd that it never made this noise (for years) and started when we picked up the car. I have a recording, but the forum won't allow an mp4 attachment.

BTW This is a 2020 Ascent with about 23000 miles on it. Also, I would describe the noise as a "clunk or clink" rather than a creak.
