Buy a new one 🙂

Or periodical spray some lube in the bits of the saddle where the rail attaches should sort it for a few rides.

I spray the rails where they attach to the saddle with WD40 & it seems to do the trick.

Some posts just seem to creak. The one on my cross bike needs cleaning / greasing / tightening every month otherwise it creaks like a bastard. With a few different saddles.

I've not touched the saddle or post on my xc mtb for years and it's fine.

strip down into part form, thoroughly clean each part including all theads, i use my squirt lube sample to then coat all threads prior to putting back together.
Bingo = silent seat and post
