That's too bad. Were they able to replicate the noise, at least?
How well does your e-brake hold? Have you tried going into reverse with the e-brake on, just to put load on it, but not to actually move? If it still makes the noise, you can rule out anything rotational, and concentrate on frame/suspension.
What could be happening is that the load shift going into reverse is causing some movement somewhere. It could be a loose subframe, suspension link, or even a crack in the frame.
