Why is my shower creaking?
Most of the time, a noisy shower pan is actually due to a plywood or shiplap subfloor flexing on a nail or screw. When you step into the shower, the floor flexes and the wood rubs against the screw or nail, making a squeaking noise. Gluing plywood to the sides of squeaky floor joists can lessen subfloor flex, too.
