Knocking sound rear driverside

    Upon starting my car and moving alone I hear a slight knocking sound from the rear driver side. It's not extreme and not particularly worse on a ramp.

    I thought It might be the seat belt hitting off plastic but I've since ruled this out.

    I'm ruling out the 4 shocks and 4 springs as I've had all replaced about 2 months ago.

    After some driving for say 15mins or more it gets harder to hear it.

    Any opinions or suggestions on what this could be?

    Go on go on? ......It's from the rear so the variables are a lot less.

    As this is a guessing game I'm going to eliminate some possibilities.

    Is your car a Porsche 911?

    Golf ball rolling around in the boot.

    Exhaust heat shield rattling against the exhaust.

    Well it's obvious isnt it. It's aliens from another dimension giving messages through the boot. Like Matthew McConaghy in the bookcase in Interstellar.

    Most likely some link or anti-roll bar or other suspension component with a worn out bushing.

    Second most likely is the exhaust, as said, maybe a loose heat shield rattling, or a broken/missing rubber exhaust suspender causing the exhaust the flail about more than usual.
