This morning I tried one attempt, I was testing if it was the trunk hand which wobbles freely when the trunk is locked and has a similar thunk. Didn't help at all. This afternoon, I'll give another attempt. Basically, the assumption here is that the door is bouncing on all the bumps in the road, and the latch needs to be soundproofed? So, wrapping a little tape around the wear points on the static hook in the trunk will shut it up.
