Yep , it's your friction pads on the stabiliser , it won't do any harm to allow them to creak , but if you want to stop it you'll need to disassemble the stabiliser and clean the discs to remove any glaze , a light rub with wet and dry paper should do it .
Take note of how to retension the stabiliser using bathroom scales ( see your stabiliser handbook ) .

 [  We have a bulldog style stabilser and the towbar is an old fashioned style where you need to put on grease. At first we thought that the problem might be a lack of grease, so we applied some more directly to towbar and I think it was fractionally better, but still very noisy. ]

 Have you tried cleaning out all the old grease and cleaning the hitch out then re-applying new grease. Also try  towing and turning on a carpark without the stabeliser on to see if it's that.
