check out the rubber bushes on the rear cross member where it is attached to the chassis the extra weight may be causing this noise which won't be there when nobody is in the rear. However this noise will get worse and will become noticable in time as the bushes become more worn. This is one possible solution it could be the rubber mount for the springs on the suspension it again could be worn and only noticable when weight is on it again both are easy to resolve just time consuming.
