Is it a humming noise? That's what the wheel bearings sound like when they are on there way out.
Or is it like a banging noise? If you are on a smooth serfice does it make the same noise? What happends if your parked up and you get one of your mates to jump up and down in the boot? Does it make the same noise?

Mine makes a banging noise all the time. I thought it was down to the springs as the rear of my car is stripped. So got propper springs for that and it's still doing it. Now i think it's the dampers that are making the noise. I have Spax RSX adjustables on. However i think that only 1 damper is working on the car  that not good
Next time your out driving, find a smooth road and stick the car in netural and have a good listen.
I'm going to record mine sometime soon (not right now as i'm rather drunk ) so you can compare the noise or you could do your own recording for others to listen to incase they reconise the noise.
