Standard shitty house building. Hammer some new nails in to get the creaking out. It’s what they’ll do at the 1 year fixer upper of issues you found out with your Arbor Homes (IN, OH, KY, sure there’s similar ones everywhere) type building company.

Oh man, there's a name I haven't heard in almost two decades. Back in the day when I was home shopping in Ohio, I had the misfortune of witnessing multiple Arbor Homes with basement floor joists 22" on center instead of 16. Funny how many of them had the identical hole in the first story floor in the identical spot right at the bottom of the stairs leading to the second story.

Spread the word to avoid them at all costs.
