Default Rear rattling over bump

my 2010 with 130k just starting doing this and it's annoying over bump, any ideas I'm thinking it can be the rear shocks or sway bar bushings! this weekend I will check this spare tire and jack in the trunk seems to be coming from the right side of the trunk, thanks for any input

thanks I checked these, I guess it's more of a thumping sound.

When I bought the 07 I had it was doing the same thing, it turned out to be the sway bar bushings.
