Default tub creaking

My newly installed (by a plumber cuz I hurt my back) Americast tub
creaks when I get in it, or move around in it during a shower. The old
cast iron tub did not creak. In my case, the new tub is lighter and
just doesn't load the floor until some gets in it. I haven't closed up
the walls yet, so I plan to remove the screws holding the tub down on
the 2x4 ledge, stand in the tub to preload it, and put in new screws or
roofing nails to hold it down.

Fill it with water if you really want to load it.
