Try moving your car forward then brake, select reverse and move then brake.
If you can reproduce the noise this way it maybe a suspension/braking
component which an observer (outside the car) maybe able to get a line on.
As mentioned before, the exhaust system maybe hitting the floor when the
motor moves in its mounts,...worth checking out.
Also a loose baffle in the muffler can make a VERY loud noise if its forced
to move under exhaust-gas pressure once the muffler is up to full operating
temp.
