Default Weird noise from under the car?

When I hit bumps on the road I hear noises coming from the bottom front of the car. Its like a "Clink" sounds like a piece of metal is about to break off. Had someone look at the car but couldn't find the problem. I was wondering if anyone on CL had this problem in the past?

IT MIGHT BE YOUR CATALYTIC BOX, THE MIDDLE BOX, IT ONLY MAKES THE SOUND WHEN YOU HIT A BUMP WITH THE REAR RIGHT? IT'S NOT THE SUSPENSION, i believe its the third cat, im a little dumb but thats whati know is on my car which makes almost a metal clinging sound.. just my .02

I got that clinking sound too. I think the mechanic installed my struts incorrectly.
