Default annoying rattling/scratching sound in 08 accord

So lately, my 08 accord in the back of the car near the right side speakers near the rear window, it has been making some rattling/scratching noise whenever i drive. I notice that if i tapped the back it would crreate the same noise when i;m not driving. So i know it is coming from the right side and decided to get a piece of paper to put it between the rear window and a black piece of plastic film of some sort that the car has in the back. This seems to stop the problem. I also notice that in the back there is a black foam piece, one on the left side and one on the right side, and that both side has this really long thin black plastic film or something.

Is anyone else with an 08 accord experiencing this problem?

The noise is driving me nuts and i want a permanent solution. I believe its that black plastic film or something that is tapping against the window when im driving.

If they find that the tint installation caused the rattle then it would not be warranty.
