I keep hearing intermittent squeaking noises coming from somewhre in the trunk area - it happens any time the frame of the car is shifting (i.e. going over bumps or grade changes in a road, etc).

It sounds like a high pitched squeak similar to the sound of foam or rubber rubbing against a smooth surface. It's so loud I hear it over normal volume music.

My first thought was it must be the foam tool holders under the floormat in the back - so I removed them all temporarily. I still hear squeaking.

Next I thought it must be the spare tire rubbing against the metal frame of the car - so I removed the spare temporarily. I still hear squeaking.

Sooner or later I'm going to get desperate enough to have someone else drive the car while I root around the trunk listening for where the noise is coming from.

Has anyone else experienced this noise and found the culprit? I didn't hear this when I bought the car, it started within the last few thousand miles.
