Default Squeak squeak

Hello,

I'm not one to ask about suspension related issues. But I just CAN NOT figure this one out!! No matter how many times I jack up the car and look at the suspension, I can't fin d out what's wrong.

Here I am driving over a speed bump and I hear a squeak from the passenger side rear corner. I go over another, and *squeak* another!! I also noticed it when I turn faster than usual. It makes a squeak.

I'm beginning to think my battery is loose back there.

Also check the spare tire compartment. Maybe the foam holder is rubbing against the body (or one of the tools is loose in their foam slots.)
Just a thought.

It's the cargo cover. Take it off and you'll see what I mean. Same thing drove me nuts.

It sounds like its more under the cargo cover. I checked all the foam and everything is fine. The tools are on the right side.

I'll double check and even take it out.

I checked all the bolts on the suspension twices and tightened them.

Default suspension squeak

Unfortunately, I am having the same problem. The only thing is I checked everything too and it still makes the same noise. Took it to the dealer and the *idiot* mechanic said 'It's perfectly normal...'. He even accused me of speeding over bumps...
The thing is, I have the car for a year now and the noise appeared yesterday. I'm guessing that's anything BUT normal.
I have no idea what causes the noise but it seems to come from the rear suspension, on both sides. It even squeaks when I press down on the trunk area.
Any thoughts?

Update: Took it to another Honda Service. It WAS the suspension. Apparently it had some lubrication problem... Still don't know exactly what it was, but it became much worse with rain and cold. Shouldn't happen with a new car, I guess. Anyway, it took the mechanic the whole day (from 8h30 am until 5h30 pm) to figure it out. Eventually he pinpointed the problem and fixed it. All good now, no more squeaks.

Thanks!

Ive got over 8k on the odo now but about 1k miles ago i started noticing a rattle back in that same corner im going to have to inspect today. I think its more interior related than suspension related tho.
