It sounds like you have a trailing arm that has a bushing that is out, or one of the shocks is broken/damaged. Can you please shoot a quick video with your phone so I can hear the noise? That way I can tell for sure what's going on. You can upload it here with your response. You will need to raise the car up and use a flashlight to do an inspection on the rear suspension.
