Can't Locate a Mysterious Noise

2001 9-3S with 118k miles on it. When driving, there's a noise coming from the back, something between a rumble and clunk (usually it's a rumble; ocaissionally it klunks a bit). I noticed that it stops if I touch the brakes.
I thought it might be missing an anti-rattle clip on a brake caliper, but they're in place. Everything seems pretty tight by the rear wheels. The exhaust moves around, but doesn't hit anything, and the fuel filler pipe can hit the wheel well, but I don't think it's loud enough to be the problem.
I took the spare tire and tools out, thinking it might be the rubber rubbing against the metal, but that had no effect. The rear wing has a lot of play at the left and right edges, which might be it, but I don't know why touching the brakes would affect that (it's missing a nut for the center mounting bolt, btw).
I bought the car in May, so I don't know much about its history. Any ideas what might be going on?
TIA
Roger
