Although it can be annoying and can sound even concerning, it is most likely quite normal where a caliper on the front that is beginning to age and become worn. When the brakes are applied typically in the forward direction, the calipers as they age will often allow the pads to shift slightly within the caliper causing a noise which becomes amplified through the rotor, steering knuckle, and so on. You probably will notice that the noise does not happen on repetitve braking either in forward or reverse after the brakes are applied the first time the noise occurs.

ANS2:Check your constant velocity (CV) joints. The klunk is a typical symptom.
