My creak a couple of years ago sounded like the pedal, but turned out to be the seatpost. Couldn't reproduce it when off the bike, but it only occured when pedalling sitting down not when standing up. Took seatpost out, added a spot of grease, put it back in and tightened well and creak went away.

Thank you
Thank you to everyone for your suggestions! I will start with checking out the seatpost (since I can't seem to duplicate the noise when I'm off the bike) and look for other things that may have loosened up in the breaking-in process.
It appears to be related to pedaling activity. With the shift of weight that occurs in the saddle during pedaling...that makes sense.
Oakleaf <LOL>-I'm pretty sure it's not my knee; my other bikes do not make this noise.
