Re: knocking noise from rear when hand brake applied.
I recently had 4 tyres fittede and tyre company had crossed threaded one stud so forcing brake disc to be loose, hence when handbrake applied got thump from brake area.

if it was standing with the handbrake applied its possible the brake shoe is still in contact with the drum. I think the only solution is to get the car jacked up and the drum removed for a positive inspection
There is a problem with your question
from what you say the brake lights do not come on when the brakes are applied --that would most likely be a faulty brake light switch
The fuse blows when the hand brake is applied indicates a short after the hand brake switch before the brake indicator in the dash that lets you know the hand brake is applied
you say that the rear light come on when the light switch is turned on--does the fuse blow then , when the brakes are applied or only when the hand brake is applied
a clearer question with a lot of detail ( make , model year , engine size etc)will get a closer answer
Did it occur to you that we can't read your mind, and we don't even know what kind of vehicle these brakes are on, let alone if they're drum or disc?
Also, it's important that you better describe the symptom. "Creaking" doesn't cut it. You need to state WHEN and under WHAT CIRCUMSTANCES the noise occurs (standing still? going 40? going 80? brakes applied? brakes not applied? vehicle on fire?), and try to better describe the noise itself.
This fault is a bit srange, when you apply the brake pedal you here a
"Knocking" noise from the front of the car, alternating from one side to the other, the cause of this is a bad earth in the rear light clusters,
which results in the headlight motors activating "Jumping" thus causing the noise, solution is to clean the conections and conecting
blocks of the rear light clusters in extreme cases change the rear light clusters but a good cleaning should fix it hope this was helpfull
To address your first problem squeaking brakes aka "brake squeal", is most often casued by one or 2 things: "Pad vibration" or a "low brake warning sensor".
Pad vibation is usually caused by ineffective pad anti-rattling clips & hardware that allow the pads to vibrate at a super fast speed whenever the brakes are applied, thus causing a high pitch brake squeal. To correct this, replace all the pad hardware and anti-rattling clips and make sure you use a quality pad set that has anti-rattling plates attached to the backs of them. Weather conditions do affect brake squeal, that is why it seems to be worse at times.
Low brake warning sensor squeal occurs when your brake pads reach the point of replacement, the sensor attached to the pads scrapes on the rotor which produces a high pitch squealing sound to warn you it's time for new pads.
As far as your second problem goes (a knocking sound), I'll need more information about the problem before I can offer a possible cause (eg. happens on left or right turns, while going over bumps, at high or low speeds, accellerating...).
could be wear indicator on brake pad. how many miles on car? how many since last brake job? need to pull wheel off and check pads. Is the noise from the front or rear? this is the first thing to check there could be other reasons but start here and eliminate the brakes or not. good luck
Sounds like one of the springs that hold the rear brakes in place broke. Jack her up, pop off the tire, remove the drum and take a look. If you need to see what a good one looks like, look on the other side.
This is not a very common problem, but I saw it last year on a 69 chevelle.

I had a similar problem......there was a rhythmic creaking noise coming from the passendger side rear wheel......I lubricated the contact points where the parking brake mechanism contacts the wheel and the noise is now gone...and has been for several months now.
