Have you removed the spare and all the other stuff under the cargo floor to see if that is the issue? ---

More to the point, have you removed the bowling ball from the trunk? 😉 ---

This could be a serious suspension problem. Get the car to a shop ASAP. ---

Your really do need to have a mechanic check this out. It could easily be serious enough to suddenly get a lot worse and cause you to lose control. ---

It might help to provide more info as to year, miles, and so on. It could be benign such as a loose spare tire or something far more serious such as a bushing in a knuckle or trailing arm. Whatever the cause, it should not be difficult to sort out. ---

Remove everything in the trunk including the spare, the jack and luggage platform. Go for a ride and see how it goes. If the noise is still there, you have a problem.Look for loose exhaust ,heat shields and broken suspension parts. Report back ---

Have someone inspect the rear lateral link bushings to see if they’re worn. Especially the inner ones that mount to rear suspension member below the trunk floor. ![image](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/cartalk/original/3X/a/4/a4a9b9ef15953880bf07e64f3565b3910494f76c.png) Tester
