I know my Chavalier used to get it, went away when I changed the rear shocks. Turned out the rubber bush at the bottom was turning causing a low down creaky kind of noise.

shocks and springs ok?  the spring can break at the top/bottom such that its visually not obvious.

or rear subframe bushes?

New springs fitted... That's when the noise started! I think it's the spring rubbing on the rubber cups :-/ :-/

According to TIS you have to remove the rear seat cushion

"Bend the sheet metal of lower floor pan in the area of crossmember (receiver for rear seat) with suitable tool (through the first opening in crossmember) downwards (beat out)"

Picture isn't very clear unfortunately :(
