Can you see where the movement is that is creating the noise? If you have someone in the backseat watch the hitch and trailer pin box as you pull away from the stop see if you can see where the movement is when you hear the bang. This hitch is not known to be super loud so I wouldn't suspect the usual problem being a loose fit between the king pin and the hitch jaws.
