i am sorry... i know i am not helping....
is it coming from the port or starboard side?
is it coming from the port or starboard side?
....don't start something here...this could turn into an argh..ument....Matie!I'm no mechanic but that doesn't really sound like transmission to me...more suspension or body creaking. Never heard of a transmission creaking. If changing from P to R causes a noise I would expect more of a slam or knock if the transmission was acting up?

Well, if it is the sound is like a Somalian pirate ship would make, you might have an RPG lock problem. Be careful though if you try to fix this one yourself.
