Does it happen when you go over bumps?

Well it probably isn't blown struts then. That usually happens when you lower and don't replace them.

Check your lower ball joints and sway bar end links for damage.

Like I said, go inspect your suspension components carefully for damage. It's usually a busted endlink that makes noise.

My GF had a similar problem with her RX300. It turned out to be some warn out bushings in the struts. whenever she hit a small bump or if the car suspension dipped down, it would knock on the top plate of the strut. i'm not sure whether that is the problem for your but it might be worth checking out.
Good luck dude.

yea, try tightening the top bolt that holds the strut assembly together. the camry would knock hella hard and when we blasted the two nuts down with an impact wrench, it was all good.
