I've noticed on my '22 ST when I lean in to the hatch area to get something out I hear a creaking sound coming from the rear bumper when I lean against it. Have the dealership check it out or don't worry about it?

Foam insulation is used ahead of the metal bumper support, quite likely the source of the noise if you are pushing the vinyl up against the foam bar.

I figured it wasn’t likely anything to worry about but it never hurts to ask. Thanks!

Mine does this exact same thing. Just a little squeaking/creaking noise when some pressure is applied on/off of the bumper. I don't think much anything of it. I noticed it when washing and I run the sponge on the rear bumper. It takes a little bit of pressure, but like all cars the rear bumper gets very dirty and usually requires me to really utilize the sponge.

You are describing my experience exactly. Thanks for sharing!
