Default Annoying noise from O/S door

When driving along on uneven surfaces there is an annoying noise from what appears to be over my right shoulder. It probably coming from the door hinge for the back door or the catch on the front door. I've tested both O/S doors for play but neither move when lifted, what is most likely at fault and how could it be sorted?

Thanks

Like a metal on metal squeaking?

You don't say who's driving?

So, rather than the door, could the "annoying noise" be the other half when she's driving?

Just me in the car and I don't think I talk to my self, at least not that annoying!

The noise is more like a fairly harsh cracking sound that is only there on undulating or bumpy roads. I think its a hinge but it must be the rear door as it sounds over my shoulder.

On mine it was the TOP of the doorcard.

When you take it off, you see that there are two metal clips that hook over the door panel.
One was badly adjusted so that it could move. When it did, it creaked.

My youngest found it, sitting in the back touching stuff when the noise started.
