It could be anything from a bad strut, to a motor mount, to the brakes grabbing a bit. If the brakes were grabbing, you should be able to feel it through the pedal some though.
Pop the hood, grab onto the motor, and pull it forward, then let it rock back, and see if it makes the noise. If so, try to locate the noise.
If it does it without the car rocking any, its a mount, if the car does rock, and then you hear it, it's probably a strut.
