is it when you're driving? could be the boot itself, if it is you can wrap insulation tape around the catch to bulb it out a bit
Might be something in the compartment where the wheel wrench is have a feel in there

Is your boot strip cracked or loose? That's what causes mine

mine is doing the same, sounds like something loose in the bootlid.
i havent had chance to check but i think its the catch worn.
try some insulating tape and see if that cures it.

I thought it was the motor on the back of the lock but you cant put tape around it as it has to pop out to lock the boot.

Mine does it.
Mine is due to missing clips for the boot panel around the wiper motor
Simple fix, just buy new clips
That reminds me :L

Just nipped it up and silence.
