Try spraying your bush(ings) with WD40.
You will probably use 2 cans or so.
Make sure to use the attachment and spray in between the bushings and the metal components.
Saw my mechanic do this and it solved the problem.

This will only be a temporary fix in regards to the noise because if there is a worn or cracked bushings, this should be replaced ASAP.
