As it, from what you say is coming from the rear of your car. Take up the boot floor & look at the top mounts of the shock-absorbers. These can separate allowing the top of the shock to waggle about & bang on the wooden boot floor.

You can buy just the top mounts for around £20-£30 (non volvo) & fitting is quite easy.

Good Luck & HTH's
