If the system is hydraulic the noises are due ambient temperature differences on the system, won't do any harm to the system, but is very annoying.
The manufacturer recommends adding a quart of anti stiction oil (15w motorcycle fork oil) to the reservoir.
To do this you must retract alll slides/jacks that are hydraulic, use a turkey baster to remove 1 quart of fluid from the reservoir but don't discard, refill to within 1/4-12" below the reservoir fill opening with the fork oil, operate all hydraulic systems a few times to mix oils, check reservoir & top off if needed with the oil you initially removed. This should stop or at least reduce the occurrence of the popping/creaking.
