Ensure the jack is secure and not moving.

I had the same problem . I took everything out of the boot including the jack and the spare wheel and it was still there . Next I replaced my noisy spherical drop links with brand new oem links but the noise still persisted . In the end it turned out to be the anti roll bar to chassis bushes that were badly worn allowing the roll bar to knock . Wish I had realised this before shelling out on a set of coilovers.
