I have found that the inside hatch cover is the culprit of my rear hatch squeak after I had already replaced what I thought was a faulty hatch strut, you can gently push on the cover to confirm.

It will sound like a high-pitched squeak and will only go away once you remove the hatch cover and place a few strips of double-sided tape over some of the inside clips.

obv rattle is from suspension. mine rattled some much i got fed up and finally bought a new strut. it sure did fix the problem and was only 45 new with shipping. if u want to get rid of the rattle noise change the strut and your problem will be solved

After taking apart all my interior trim, replacing the hatch struts with new ones, and doing everything I could to find the interior noise I finally broke down and started checking suspension.

The first thing I did was take out both rear suspension shocks and drive around the neighborhood (you can but dont go fast, its crazy bouncy without shocks). As soon as I took them off the crazy rattle was gone. This is a pretty simple thing to test and was exactly what was my problem too.
