If you reverse slowly over some bumps does it still do it?

if so it may well be the shocks are knackered.

Rear shocks.
Stick a few bags of rubble in the boot to get it to over compress. See if the noise goes.
This will confirm there's a wear spot on the damper and it's catching on the grease shield.

I'm not sure if the bug had them but Blob WRX onwards used 40mm inverted dampers similar to the STi. Therefore Front or Back will suffer the usual wear and knocking noises.

Easy enough to check by jacking up and lifting the dust cover to check the damper. Below shows the quite obvious differences.
