Default Weird noise

I have a 1998 Tiburon. I keep hearing this weird noise on my car. Here are some examples of when I hear it and what it sounds like.
ex:1 I hear it alot when I am pulling a way from a stop sign or stop light. I will be in 1st gear and once I let the clutch out I will hear this click noise. It happens if like I am in a parking lot in first and accelerate a little and let of the gas I hear the clunk noise. It is coming from the front of the vehicle. I don't know if I need shocks and struts or what? I just kinda want a get an idea of what someone else thinks before I take it to the shop and get shafted.
Thank you

It could be a whole bunch of things from your description.

motor mounts
Springs/struts/suspension
brakes
transmission

Can you narrow it down a tad? Can you give a more "in depth" description?

Does it happen any other time? Can you "feel" the thunk/clunk through the steering wheel? Through the floor?
