I know you said you hear the noise over bumps but if you drive on a semi smooth road and make quick steering maneuvers rocking the vehicle side to side do you hear this noise?

Based on your description it sounds like the sway bar bushings. You may not see any signs of wear or movement in the bar but I can tell you that the bushings are the most common cause of the knocking in the front end.
