You can try using silicone lubricant on the rubber stripping that goes between the hatch and the rest of the car.

I just sprayed and wiped it into the entire strip and the noise went away.

I thought my hatch was squeaking but it wasnt. The metal pieces that fold to put the rear seat down squeak too. Check that out.

Maybe adjustment of the lock would help...
