I think you're on to something. My understanding (given that I just replaced the front suspension in my car) is that if you're looking at the top of the strut with the hood open and bouncing the car, nothing should be moving up there. Your strut mounts could be shot and I've heard those can make lots of noises. I'd say that is you best bet at this point.
