Are all track pumps creaky on the downward stroke?

Hi, I got my first track pump the other day, the Lezyne Steel Floor Drive. It's great other than the fact the downward stroke sounds pretty creaky. Do all track pumps sound this way, or is mine defective? The build quality of the pump is so hyped I was just a bit surprised, my Topeak race rocket hand pump doesn't sound this way.
Maybe it just needs silicone oil?

Many thanks in adavance.

    Air noise can be had from any, you need to be clearer what the creak is!

    Never heard that before :lol:

    My old Specialized track pump doesn't do it.

    No creaking in my Joe Blow the only sound is that of the air coming out!
