Bike is about 1 year old, I’m planning on servicing the suspension this month. Question is, should I ride while the bike is making these noises? What could it be? I checked and brakes don’t seem to be rubbing.
Fork and frame started creaking. Brakes don’t seem to be rubbing. Any tips?

Sounds like your headset needs to be adjusted. Just my 2 cents…
Check if the headset is tight.
Press the front brake with one hand and with the other hold the headset near the frame and rock the bike front and back. If u feel movement unscrew the stem bolts, tighten the top cap and then the stem.
If its not that remove the fork and check the bearings if they are rought.
If its not that, clean the headset then grease the contact points for the bearings.
