Impossible to tell over a computer. The best place to start is with an inspection at a tire and alignment shop.
If it's a rattling sound that goes away with light pressure on the brake pedal, suspect a loose front brake pad or caliper. That is generally not serious but it can be annoying. Anti-sway bar links and bushings are also irritating but not dangerous. A metal splash shield behind the front brake rotors can rub on the rotors. Again, not serious.
Among the more serious things that will be checked are the coil springs, struts, lower ball joints, and tie rod ends. Those typically make a clunking sound over bumps.
