Default tink noise from rear wheel over bumps

so i just noticed an odd noise today on my 03 allroad. it makes a tink noise, like metal tapping when i ride over bumps coming from the passenger rear wheel. i sounds like something is loose. i creep-ed under the car and glanced at the suspension near that rear wheel. nothing noticeable. I cannot replicate it by bouncing the car up and down. my experienced ear initially made me thing it was a loose heat shield or sway bar endlinks. I haven't jacked the car up yet but i will tomorrow. any ideas what it could be? any common issues with the allroad that i dont know about? thanks for the help.

Grease or high-temp anti-seize maybe? Turn up the radio?
