front sport seat creaking

I don't know if it's the bitter cold or if it's because I started playing with the seat switch that lets you teeter at an angle front and back or what... but my driver seat creaks now. Since I'm belted in, anytime I accelerate and brake it will creak. I jump slightly in my seat, shift my weight hard (170lbs) forward/backward and it will creak. It is not a leather-on-leather sound, more like a wood-chair squeal if you put weight on just 1 side.

Anyone experience the same thing? The seat is really stiff to begin with so something like this surprisingly didn't happen since I got it. I'm thinking it has something to do with my fun in the snow but still this shouldn't happen, much like rattles shouldn't happen just because you jumped a few potholes for a few months.

I tried searching and it's mostly rattles from the back, not really about creaking.
