Mine does the same and that’s with new bearings too. I feel like I must have put it back together wrong. It is creaking now. I can duplicate it by turning the empty tub back and forth.

Difficult to say since the main method by which we diagnose a noise is to listen to it.

Given the age of your machine the most likely problem is a bearing beginning to fail. This is not repairable, and it is not economically feasible to replace the outer tub.

It may be some noise from the seal, in which case you can attempt to repair it. Here is the part.
