17B floor noises

Our 17B (12/2020) has developed odd noises when you step on the floor near the front table base (and extending rearward a couple of feet).

I've seen the threads on solving "floor" squeaks by lubricating cabinetry edges and this is definitely in the floor -- if I press with one finger on the fiberglass underneath the trailer at eight inches back from the front cross-member (where the stabilizers are mounted) I get very clear scrunch-like sounds.

Here's what it sounds like inside (just close the Dropbox sign-in box to listen):

And from the outside:

Has anyone experienced this, and how did you solve it?

TIA,

Steve

We just sold 2015 17B that had zero floor noises, solid. Now have 10/2020 21NE that has excessive floor noises (in my opinion) in front of sink/stove cabinetry. Sounds like a 2020 thing.

I recalled in a recent video Karl mentioning that Escape had changed to a tongue in groove underlayment. Previously they had used plywood sheathing under the vinyl floor. Could that possibly be the issue? If so I would think it's a warranty issue. So probably call them before your warranty is up.
