No one has suggested the exhaust line, this can produce some very odd noises
if something is only moderately loose.

And Michael Porter suggested a u-joint. In fact, I have a bad u- joint on
the right side halfshaft. It's been bad for a long time and will be
replaced soon. The driveshaft was fine when I put the diff in a year ago.
In any case, this isn't a u-joint sound. It's too slow and isn't that
distinct clicking sound. It's as if something were bouncing on a sheet
metal suface. Like a short-handle screwdriver free to roll across the
trunk. Except the trunk doesn't have anything like that. I checked!
But thanks anyway.
