Unhappy Creaking and Laser noise o_O!

Hi guys,

Kinda posted a few weeks back about my steering wheel, and it got fixed...but now...

I kinda need a bit of help...this started like a week ago, whenever my car accelerates, the driver's door/window creaks like rubber rubbing on something. It's really prominent when I go up initially onto my driveway since it's a little steep, so it makes quite a few creaking sounds. I don't think this is normal...and I was wondering if it's a lubricant problem.

Then on top of that...today I started hearing a laser kinda sound in my car. This started a few minutes after I shifted into manual and back to auto. I really don't know how to describe the noise...sounds electronic-ish...and the only thing i can relate to is a laser or maybe a fluorescent lamp when it turns on (kinda electronic buzzing sound). At first I thought it was the brakes or the caliper, but that got ruled out when I stopped at a traffic light, and my car made still that noise. Has anyone heard this sound before?

I love this car (I bought it a month ago), but it seems like there are a lot of irritating problems with it . It's making me stress out and disappointed

Lube the rubber on the windows and sunroof with Shin-Etsu silicone from Honda.
Dunno about the laser noise, tho.

Seriously, try the Shin-Etsu first. Here is my earlier thread as to why:
