Mine was doing this also, all engine mounts were fine, then I saw it, there is a stiffening barfrom one side of the chassis to the other, just behind the motor,this is firmly bolted to the chassis at 2 points left and right of the car. Mine must have been hit by something and bent it upwards slightly so the middle of the bar now touched the body causing the noise you mentioned.
Just a crowbar and a hefty grunted pull bent it back down 1/2" and stoped all the noises.
Cheers George
