Question Strange noise coming from back of the car?

Hey, when I'm not moving I can hear a strange squeaky noise from the back of the car. It's like 2 pieces of metal rubbing each other. I can also hear it if I slam the door.
Anyone know what it could be? I hope it's nothing bad!
thanks!

Could be your exhaust rubbing the heat shields.

I don't think that's going to help I won the swordfight competition in your hatch, so that's done with! If it's your exhaust just bend the heat-sheilds out further.

Spraying WD-40 on the exhaust won't help, since WD-40 is flammable and the exhaust gets hot.

If you want to know what it is, then look under there while some closes the door since you say you hear it when you close the door.
