Having one or more spokes loose can cause creaking. If this is the case take you bmx to your local bike shop. Your wheel may not be true (damaged e.g. fractured/not original shape)
another reason is that your tire may not be pumped up all the way and the inner tube could be chaffing on the outer casing.

Why does your bmx make a 'ting' sound when you land a jump?
At the point where your wheel hits the ground, the rim flexes a little bit. The spokes that support this section of the rim also flexes, and then snaps back as soon as this spot of the rim rotates past this point. This creates a 'ping" sound as the spokes pop up against each other where they cross.
