What causes floor to squeak?

0

Squeaks are usually caused by temperature and humidity changes which cause contraction and expansion of wood. The sub-flooring and joists dry out and warp causing a separation between the sub-floor and joist. The wood moving up and down on the pulled nail causes the squeak.
