You're right about it being a rubber squeaking sound. If you look at the rear of the H2, to the sides of the rear hatch on the bumper there are little pieces of rubber molding that cover the space between the bumper and the body. There are little metal lips that are making contact with the rubber and that makes the noise. My tech(Derrick) spent three days tracking the noise down. All you have to do is take something like a piece of wood and gently bend the lip upward a little bit so it clears the rubber molding. Mine hasn't made a peep since.
Sorry about not posting pics of this, but I can't find my digital camera.
