What I do
If I cannot reproduce the problem from outside the car (e.g. by pushing down on each corner) then I will find a bumpy road that easily reproduces the problem, then one by one spray a suspect with a silicone lubricant and reproduce the problem and listen if the sound has changed (or in csome cases, gone away). You repeat that process with each of the suspension joints until you find it.
Also, if you have an assistant handy you can ask them to listen for the sound as you drive by. That helps pinpoint it.
Please let us know what it turns out to be.
