There was a thread about this a while back. Conclusion was the hitch in the receiver was the cause. I've noticed the banging too but only when my hitch is in the receiver.

I agree, on mine it's the hitch in the receiver. When I hit a bigger bump I get a noise. The way I discovered it was when we went on our last vacation, I put the bicycle rack on that has a tightening bolt so it doesn't bounce around in the receiver. Noise was gone the whole trip. As soon as I put hitch back on, banging noise again. Voila!

I have the same bang, it is def coming from the hitch, I never take mine out.
