Standard shitty house building. Hammer some new nails in to get the creaking out. It’s what they’ll do at the 1 year fixer upper of issues you found out with your Arbor Homes (IN, OH, KY, sure there’s similar ones everywhere) type building company.
Oh man, there’s a name I haven’t heard in almost two decades. Back in the day when I was home shopping in Ohio, I had the misfortune of witnessing multiple Arbor Homes with basement floor joists 22" on center instead of 16. Funny how many of them had the identical hole in the first story floor in the identical spot right at the bottom of the stairs leading to the second story.
Spread the word to avoid them at all costs.
Doesn’t look like they’re pulling off of anything to me… just looks like diagonal nails

I don’t know if that’s even the right term, but what I mean is that the nails seem receded in the beams
They’re just sunk deep because they had the nailgun set too hard. They aren’t pulling through, that’s how they were set.
Nailguns have a pin that could drive that nail entirely through the 2x4 if you set the pressure high enough.
Pic 2 is the only thing concerning I see
