Default light squeaking noise when going over bumps

Hey everyone,
I just got a 2002 A4 about a week ago, it is in mint condition and I love it.
The only thing I notice is it squeaks a bit when I go over a bump on the road. I only really notice it at speeds over 40mph and it seems to be coming from the right rear area. It's probably nothing to worry about, any idea what it could be?
Thanks

Latch the rear seat. There is a tab that pops out by the rear headrests when they aren't latched, makes a squeak when its not seated.

That would squeak if he hit bumps at a slow speed, plus thats easy to test by pushing on the fenders. The suspension movement would cause the squeak easilly.
Another trick i used to use when i wrenched.
