It may also be the rear headrests. I noticed when you release them from the up position, they make an obvious bump sound when they hit. Maybe going over speed bumps creates some lift on the headrests and they make a slight sound. How fast are you going over the bumps? Maybe try having someone in the back hold the headrest down, or at least sit back there to hear where the noise originates. Thoughts?

it could also be that cover on top of the spare. if you ahve nothing in your trunk, theres nothing stopping the main cover from lifting up and closing after going over a bump.

If there were a body in the trunk they might find it.
