Try checking the sway bar and struts. If the struts are shot then you could be getting that kind of noise. But if the sway bar has come loose than it will slap the body of the car every time you trun into or out of something like that.

Ive had a problem with a strut before where it made a loud clicking noise... and it could be the sway bar... but it also might be something less complicated. i have 2 other ideas:
1) trunk rattling?? sometimes people wrap the metal loop on their trunk with electrical tape to keep it from rattling....
2) my friend has a 92' integra and he wanted to take the rear wiper off. before he did there was an annoying rattling in the back. Im not sure exactly all he took out of there (i could find out) but he took off the entire wiper assembly and there is no more rattling. maybe someone else has done that and could expand on it... or i dunno. my 2 cents
