UN55 should be good for at least 10000 miles and then the bearings will be getting rough and gritty. My first suspicion is a creak is something else; ie not tight enough in the shell, cranks on the tapers, pedals done up tight enough etc.
cranks on the tapers
That was my first thought, obvs., but I was trying to be nice 🙂
