You needn't part with any cash to do this, provided you have good screwdrivers with the correct size blades, and a pair of smooth jawed pliers to remove the screws with if you can't grip them too well with your fingers. And some key oil or motor oil.

Take each screw out in turn (but leave the keys in place), add a drop of oil to the screw thread (dip the thread in oil - synthetic engine oil will do, but NEVER use vegetable oil) and then replace the screw. This should quieten things.
