Have you confirmed the source of the sound coming from the door shells? If so, then the check straps are the usual suspects. You should be able to confirm the sound while opening and closing the door, or if the door does not open all the way, or sticks. If the sounds "seem" like they're coming from the rear door area, then you should also take a look at the rear suspension links, since that's where they are. You might have a worn or broken suspension link.
