Color, did you notice anything other than a sound....like a severe jolt? It is possible that something in the front suspension is loose. Another possibility is that the suspension bottomed out (why I ask if you felt a jolt). You can check out the various parts to see if anything is loose, also put a zip tie on the male slider of one fork so you can see how much suspension travel you are using. It is possible that you need to add some preload. Other than those possibilities I'd say that the last resort is to take the forks apart to look for something loose inside.....not my idea of fun.

Another thought.....if you have the center stand installed that might have bounced and then slammed back into the frame.
