Well all of your jack/spare are in that area.If they are loose they can make a variety of squueks,rattles...etc...

Also as stupid as it sounds,I was trying to track down an on again off again sound that was coming from that same area for ages until I finally noticed it was my antenna that was loose.(fixed Camaro antenna screws on or off).

Good luck!

Don't know if your car is a Firebird or Camaro, but on my WS6 the passenger tail light where it meets the filler panel squeaks.
