Could be air line for air shocks. I swore there was something bouncing in my trunk. Shop said air line came lose (Broke?) when they replaced my rear shocks. I could hear it at low speeds. It must have been bouncing against the trunk to make that sound. 2004 SE
On a totally different car (and when I was much younger), I had a weird sound that turned out to be loose lugs. The tire was wobbling on the bolts. couldn't see anything sitting still, only heard when moving -- Now I know!
Friend with 2000-ish had a valve inside her tire from the factory! she only heard it at slow speeds. Tech finally took the tire off th rim to look inside and found the "spare" part.

Re: clunk in the rear
You are right, I didn't look closely at your signature. Some have found the rear subframe mounting bolts have come loose, otherwise the alignment links can get loose as well...

Re: clunk in the rear
I had the ball joints on the track bars or trailing arms go bad and were making noise going over bumps. Before putting replacements in I installed grease gun fittings so they can be lubed every other oil change.
