Mystery squeak problem?

So i got this irritating squeak problem coming from the rear of my car
At first, i thought it was a suspension component that is making this noise. And upon asking some mates, they suggested the same. However, when i sat in the back seat and tried to pin point the location, it came from the middle of the rear parcel shelf. So i ripped out everything in the back (again cause i did this to try pin point the location of the squeak a couple of weeks ago) and found NOTHING there that would make such a noise

It sounds like a loose bolt rubbing against metal, however there is no bolts or screws that are loose in the rear that could make such a noise. There is nothing there except the speakers and the metal body. However, the sound still persists


suggestions?

did you check the rear sway bar bushings? they will make a very irritating squeak over every little bump in the road if they are dry and the grease has all washed out. sound can travel pretty far, so i wouldn't eliminate other possibilities right away.
