Default Knock from rear

Hey guys,i have a 2012 GS Auto with 23K miles,when i excelerate slowly from a start i hear a slight knock coming from the rear of the car and when i let off the gas at slow speeds i hear it,i noticed it yesterday while in slow moving traffic. With the radio on at normal listening i dont hear it just to give you an idea of the sound level. Anyone have this problem?

Start with loose axle nuts. Many posts describing the issue and the fix. Do a search and you will get several threads with answers.
