It might be your oil pan underguard came off loose or your rubber lip under the bumper

I have this issue now. Coming from my rear when I go up on an angle to get into a steep parking lot. Sounds like rubber that is rubbing. Not metal. I am lowered on coil overs. But not tucking.

Had a similar sound. A cross between a plastic scrape and rubber creaking. Mine came from the back end. I jacked up the back of the car, loosened the top bolt on the rear damper, pushed the bolt down enough to spray a bit of graphite in between the rubber top to the damper & the metal. No more sound. I am lowered but I have plenty of clearance.

That metal plate and the rubber in the back of the trunk eh? I never thought about that. I'm gonna loosen that and spray lithium grease between the metal and rubber. Thanks for the tip. Will also spray under the rubber why not.

Have the same thing here. Noticed it the last few years.
Also noticed that it only happens in the winter.

Seeing others mentioning the same thing has me even more certain now that the noise is the result of something in the suspension (happens going over speed bumps for me) getting noisy when it's cold (enough).

It has to be the suspension. Mine goes away in the rain. I also lowered my Fit on HSD coilovers. And they are a few months old so I dunno.

Similar problem

Does anyone know what this could be?
Your description sounds very similar to mine- I suspect it is the ball joint(s). Mine is still under warranty. This will b the 3rd time I take back. 1st time was the tightening of the strut nut. Second found nothing. 3rd time I found exactly what angle to hit the driveway gradient chane sona to show he technician. I will keep u posted. Good luck
