Do you listen to boring music? Perhaps you have crickets...
Seriously, I had the same freakin'-squeakin' issue a couple months back. It was definitely coming from the hatch area and not the seats. I know this because I had the rear seat completely out at the time. My issue was the catch on the hatch. If the catch or the striker are not aligned properly and set to hold the hatch closed without putting too much pressure on the release, it can squeak. It took me a few trial-and-error adjustments to get everything quiet. I also wrapped the little cross bar on the striker with sticky-backed fuzzy velcro for insurance. There are two torx screws on the catch which you can loosen to make adjustments. The striker has three. Before you attempt any adjustments, remove the trim panel off the hatch and lower your back seat. While making adjustments, it's possible to have the catch close so that you can't open it with the outside handle--too much tension. If this happens, you have to get at it from inside the car. You can also adjust the rubber strikers near the rear of the hatch in the rain channel, and the bumpers that screw in and out which are located on the hatch near the lower hatch strut mount.
Another possible squeak area is the catch on the floor access panel, check that too.
