This noise can't be good (video)

So I noticed a strange sound when I got out of the max today. I can make the same noise if I push on the trunk, and listen to my rear suspension.. I know nothing about suspension so can someone give me an idea of what the sound is so I can have it replaced? Thanks guys

Yeah, I dunno.. could be a blown strut that sounds crazy. How's the ride though?

Sounds like a spring though.

Strut blown to hell. Run over any potholes lately? I busted one on my 240 2 days after installing it. Too many ppl + pothole = blown strut

So most likely a blown strut? Thanks guys, as far as I know its the original, 90k. Haha I did miss an unmarked speed bump last night and hit it at like 30, so I bet thats what killed it. Thanks, and by the way the ride does suck in the back.
