Clunk under seat on acceleration and deceleration

So, after a fruitless search, I present this...

My '01 with Tip has started emitting a single, distinct clunk or thump from under the general area of the passenger seat on acceleration or deceleration.

Recent work:
  • All four struts.
  • Front lower control arms.
  • Front downlinks.
  • Front ball joints.
  • Front brake discs.
  • Coils, plugs, and tubes.
  • Alignment.

I did all the work, and my first thought was a loose control arm. But the car was aligned by the shop my indy uses, so I assume if there was something loose in the suspension they would have found it.

I found a post in a 996 forum that suggested motor mounts, but that doesn't seem like it would generate a noise under the passenger seat. I'm not noticing any other issues related to this, but it's clearly not supposed to happen.

Any input appreciated.
