If you follow your rear suspension down, you'll find there are two stabilizer arms per side, the strut side could have a worn or loose thru-bolt, if not, follow it up to underneath the middle of the car, where the arms almost converge, there are bushings in each side that like to eventually squeak a lot, and I guess if the bushings were gone, you'd have a metal-on-metal knock. Just push up and down on the trunk (or hatch) when its parked and listen closely. Go from there.
