Default Creaking sound? TCT?

I did some searching and I think it might be the timing chain tensioner, but I wanted to run this by some of you guys since I don't know much mechanically. So, on cold mornings I hear a creaking type sound. almost as if something is loose in the engine bay. I checked the heatshield, but it's pretty secure. I also randomly hear it when I'm creeping up a laneway and if I don't use the clutch and gas right and the car shutters the creaking sound comes back. On mornings when it's warm I don't hear it during start up nor do I hear it when the car is warm. I think it might still be the TCT, but what do you guys think?

side: I also hearing a click or clunk when I turn my wheel from a slow or standstill. Not sure if it's something to do with my steering rack or just the suspension? it's usually just one clunk, so as if something's being hit at a certain point.

anyways, suggestions from you pros would be appreciated! Thanks!!

I just lowered my car so I'm pretty low right now too...about three inches off the ground, but I hear the sound during start up so it can't be tires rubbing. hmmm...
