Default Strange noise from driver side rear on acceleration/shift.

Hey guys, you’ve all been a tremendous help so far on helping me fix the issues I’ve had, and of course as soon as you get it all fixed, another pops up. I’ll try and be very specific. The car is an 04 coupe with 120k on it. The other day, upon accelerating out of my driveway, I noticed a slight “springy” type sound coming from the rear of my car on the drivers side. It happens when I go over bumps occasionally (sometimes it makes the sound, sometimes it does not) and when I accelerate or shift. I looked under the car, and from what I’ve seen everything seems to be intact. I have new KYB shocks all around (less than 10k miles). I did have a rear passenger side shock that blew out on me about 2k ago, and it kind of made this same noise, but it made the noise over every bump, not just some here and there. I thought it might be the driveshaft, but it wouldn’t make sense for something to happen under such light acceleration. If anyone needs anymore details or anything please let me know, and if anyone has guess or things to check, please let me know too. Thank you guys.

(edit: it makes the sound that rubbing your finger down a comb would make, but only one or two prongs at a time. Sorry it’s a tough sound to describe)
