Are creaky bars anything to worry about?
If they are creaking, they are moving. If they are moving, they are fretting. If they are fretting, you should be too.
I think they're 25.x mm bars in a 26.0 stem. So that would explain them moving. If I tighten them up a bit more will that sort it?

It might, but only by introducing new problems. Just use properly matched parts.
