Clunking Noise on start

I have noticed on after a few minutes of moving theres a clunking noise. Seems to be located at the front under the engine. Anyone know what this is - someone mentiioned a short throttle cable?

Thanks!

There isn't a throttle cable, it's drive by wire. I think it's the DSC kicking in, not sure, but it's normal. The manual mentions it.

I would be willing to bet its the ABS self check. It makes a kind of "thud-zing" when you put it in gear.
