Thump in the trunk

I have a 09 SS/TC with 1900 miles on it....Does anyone have a thump in the trunk of their SS? It only happens when I'm idling at a light, at no regular interval, just completely random. I don't want to take it in for service unless I have some idea what it could be....help me guys!

So is the moral of the thump to just drive with the radio louder? I've never counted the thumps...I will tomorrow, but 3 probably sounds right. At least I'm not crazy and I really am hearing it!

Mine does it when the radio is turned way low or turned off, so I doubt it's the subwoofer. Thanks for the help guys! I really appreciate you saving me a trip to the dealer looking like a crazy woman who hears things!
