When a substance is heated particles within it gain energy and vibrate more rapidly i.e. the internal energy of the substance increases. When the furniture is exposed to heat on a warm day the furniture expands. During the nights when it is not as warm as during the day the furniture contracts which causes it to creak.

∙ 14y agoFloor boards creak because of rubbing on the nails that secure them to the floor joists. When you walk on the floor, the boards flex, but the nail stays fixed in the joist, so you get a squeak. A hot day perhaps removes moisture from the wood making it creakier.
To correct the problem, locate the squeaky area and run a few subfloor screws or deck screws (or even drywall screws) into the joists in the area of the squeak. If you are building a new house, request that the subfloor panels be screwed down, and preferably glued as well using PL400 or any other subfloor adhesive.
