squeaky creaky wheel spokes!!!!

Just finished building my new Mtb and on first ride I've found an annoying noise! The wheel spokes are squeaking/creaking! Is there a quick fix for this? The spokes are clean at the moment.

Just ride them and they should stop.

Ideally the builder should have stress relieved the spokes (which also beds the spokes and nipples in), but a few pings is not unusual.

Of course check everything is tight and evenly tensioned.

sometimes happen on my road bike, drop of lube where the spokes cross (careful to wipe off the excess) should cure it.
