Garage
Loud noise from back of car

Last night I took a turn too fast and ended up hopping a curb on only the driver side. The front lip was ripped off the whole front bumper, the driver side fog light area of the front bumper has a small crack, and both drivers wheels are very slightly dented but still straight. No damage to side fender, door area, door jamb, rear quarter, back bumper, side skirts, or interior other than drivers side curtain airbags. No leaks anywhere, car drives flawlessly as if it never happened, alignment is still perfect. No lights, tires took no damage and have lost no air over night. Steering is exactly the same, nothing is crooked, and nothing is rubbing.

So from the looks of everything, it's only cosmetic damage of the wheels and bumper, and then the curtain airbags. Insurance said they will cover it under single car collision with my deductible paid by me and fault being placed on me, which is fine. They are sending an adjustor out tomorrow

The problem now currently is that there is a noise coming from the back of the car like something is bouncing around in my trunk. At first I thought it was all the cracked pieces of my lip I threw in there or tools, so I took everything out of the trunk and put it in the back seat or passenger seat, yet it still sounds like something heavy is being thrown around. This is a loud, obvious thump, and a bit of creaking, not a slight rattle. Yet I've looked over the entire car front to back, underneath, in the trunk, and can't find ANYTHING wrong with the back of the car, inside or out or underneath. The back didn't even go over the curb, only the driver side front wheel and corner of the bumper did. I can't find the source of the noise anywhere. Could this be inside the headliner maybe since the airbags deployed? It only seems to happen during take off or during a turn.


How she looks right now:





Front Wheel:





Back Wheel:





Fog Light area:





Where bumper separated (Side marker is fine, just haven't put it back on yet):
