I think #1 is more like popping noise and #2 & #3 are more like buzzing noise.

I think the noise you describe is more like painted metal rubbing against another painted metal. First think I would do is to try what humfrz mentioned, which is to fold the rear seat down and see if it still makes the noise.

If it still makes the noise, the noise most likely is coming from the deck.
If the noise becomes louder and clearer and it now sounds more like plastic pet bottles rubbing each other, then it could be coming from under the trunk (Below the trunk cover, above the spare tire, behind the rear seat.)
If it stops, then the noise most likely is coming from under the rear seat.

So, try that and see what happens.
