Default Hearing some cracking sound from rear

Hi recently bought 2007 RX 400h Lexus which is good in all the way. But i hear some noise from rear seats. Not sure if it is coming because of leather seating or any other reason.

Did anybody experience this sound. Please suggest where to check.

Thanks,

Arun A

I would hear noise from the rear and it turned out being the plastic cover that hangs below the spare tire. I added some foam to the inside of the cover to press against the tire and the noises went away.

Hi Mikli, As you said i have unfolded the rear arm rest and i now do not hear the sound. Is there a way i can get rid of this sound even when i place back the arm rest.

I got rid of my squeek by tilting back the left rear seat section one or two steps while the right side section is at the most upward position.
