Default creeking sound

I've noticed a slight knock sound coming from behind my front left tire for about a month or two. (I've checked the control arms and that's not it, and I've recently had the cv boots replaced.) After driving for a few minutes it seemed to go away. For the past few days I've been hearing a similar noise coming from the same area; again, more so in the first few minutes of driving. Last night, my car is now making a wicked creeking noise from that same area. It sounds like an old spring matress...."eek"..."eek" when I'm driving at low speeds (under 15 mph).

Any ideas? Again, this is just on the front left corner.
