Fairly sure it’s the trunk latch and after a rain. I’ve been able to immediately open it, put a microfiber towel in the latch close the trunk on it. And the sound immediately goes away. The question is what and why. But no big thing.

It's the same root cause as the hood latch sound. The liftgate moves a tiny bit as the vehicle flexes and the sound comes from the latch moving against the catch. A little bit of white lithium grease or silicone spray silences it.

In both cases a small sound is amplified because it's attached to a large resonator (the hood or the liftgate).
