Default Metal noise

Hey I'm Andrew new to the forum and an owner of 07 A4. I will upload some pictures later this afternoon, nothing too special however the car is debadged, with cup holder lights installed, 25% tints all around and tinted tail lights (from the middle down) = ]

All right, let me ask you this question now. About a month ago I was changing light bulbs in the rear and that same day after the installation I started hearing annoying metal clunking noise (Sounds like loose exhaust hitting the tank). It seems like the noise is coming from the rear wheel but it might be an echo and it can also be only heard with window opened. Another thing is that the noise is only heard when going over specific cracks or pud holes at the speeds ranging from 15-50 mph (not every size hole or crack does it). Also, when I go over cracks and apply brakes the noise is not there. I went to Audi a few days ago and they said they couldn't duplicate my claim = [ Don't really know what to do to but the car looks very cheap.

Any advices or suggestions are more than appreciated. = ]

id say brake pad as well...although ur clunk claim doesn't fit a brake pad...its more of a rattling like metal on metal.

"the car looks very cheap" what? thats random and the b7 a4's by no means look cheap...unless ur mods are ghetto as ****

if its like a hard loud noise each time u go over a bump it could just be that one of your struts is shot, but you would be able to hear that with the window up as well

maybe u dropped a screw in a cranny with the light bulbs

If it is more pronounced it might be a bad ball joint I suppose.
