Default A thump or thud like a subwoofer in the trunk??

So I've noticed this for quite some time and know it's not normal but,when I pull into like a parking lot,slow down in gear coming up to railroad tracks,or a light in second and let off the gas there is a thud,thud,thud coming from the trunk but,I have nothing in there?The best way to describe the sound is like a a small subwoofer hitting really low and slow.I don't think its the fuel in the gas tank.Only happens when it's in low gear coming to slow speeds til I take it out of gear and hit the brake.Any ideas what it is?

Is it your spare tire? If it's not bolted down it could make noise on bumps

It's the dude in your trunk pounding on the inside when you slow down, trying to alert someone he's in there.

It could be your rear upper control arm bushings.
