Default Thunk sound from engine

I'm getting a thunk sound from the left side of the engine compartment in my 09 GT. It happens a few seconds after I start the car. It is not continueus, just the one time after I start it. Anyone else have this happen to them?

Turning the car off and starting the car with the AC on can do this. Its a pretty loud thump that comes from the passenger side front where the AC stuff is.

The ac is not on, the sound is coming from the drivers side. It sounds like something is falling. A thunk is the best I can describe that it sounds like.
