I would be very surprised if the luggage rack was the cause of this sound. but I'll pull them off - gotta try all the hypothesis right?

I currently own 3 wagons and have owned wagons for most of my "driving life."
The cargo area of a wagon is like a boom box. It can amplify noises; especially suspension and/or road noises. So even a small noise is magnified.
As Mike suggested, the cross-bars on the roof rack can also make odd noises, especially with the sunroof open.
