Yup, there are several things you can do that may help. One is making certain the rh in the house is constant and within the parameters of the manufacturers requirements; 35% to 45% will keep your wood around the manufactured moisture content wich is usually 6 to 9%. This might allow the wood to relax.
I did my neighboors house with Lock & Fold (Ken was there) , his squeaked the next day. But he is half deaf so didn't mind. lol
You can also take it apart and glue it down. Or take it apart and use T&G adhesive and glue it all together. This might void the warranty though.
