If its shot, you will hear it. I could hear it even with the radio up pretty loudly. It would knock here and there on pretty much every drive. Hope that's a little better. It was frequent, but not something you would notice taking a quick drive around the block.

Like I mentioned above, your suspension should be 100% quiet no matter what you hit. If it's not, I would take it in. You shouldn't ever really hear any sort of clunks or knocks.
I'd suspect that you'd need a movement (think fast and high amplitude) that would require heavy damping before you'd hear the clunk. The clunk (i think) is the sound of the spring unloading without damping and the internals of the strut hitting their limits hard.
