Why does my car sound like a pirate ship when I change gears from P to R. Really loud like wooden boat creaking.

May not be the same thing put sometimes, especially if I'm on some sort of incline with the brakes applied but not too firmly,when I put the car in D or R, the car will shift a little causing the brakes to creak and the car moves.

yea that's what it sounds similar too except i wasnt on an incline this time. What i also found interesting is that after i drove around and the car warmed up the sound was completely gone. I am hitting 70k on the odometer.
