I have a pp and mine does the same thing. I'm lowered on ultralites and it will make a clunk sound sometimes coming out of the driveway turning left. Just figured it was maybe something binding like the springs. Doesn't happen very often so I don't worry too much about it. Sub'd

I went under the car yesterday and grabbed the axles and moved them side to side and it made the same clunking noise. However I don't notice any issues when driving or anything like that. Another thing I noticed was if I have been running it hard and then turn slowly the noise is even louder. As if their more loose. I have heard that the axles in our cars are very weak.

So heres how my setup went:

I installed diff bushings, its bushings, and alignment kit, and exhaust all around the same time, no issues everything worked perfect no weird noises.

drove it like that for a good couple hundred miles and then installed steeds progressive springs, sway bars and 25mm eibach rotors, couple of hundred miles later i start hearing the noise, at first i thought it was the swaybar end links i took em off and they were extremely loose, so i replaced those with BMR adjustable ones and and also did the steeds vertical links, and irs brace as well. Car handles a lot better and launches amazing with 0 wheel hop, but that clunking and clicking noise is still there. Im thinking its something in the differential because when i have it in gear it doesn't do it, only does it in neutral.
Sorry, just getting back to this. You may have already solved your issue. If not, based on your setup, I would suggest checking your swaybar bushings.
Obviously I don't know exactly what sound you're experiencing but I used to have a 2011 WRX. I replaced the swaybars and endlinks on it. Several months later, I started getting this clunking (like something was loose) when going over speedbumps or up driveways, etc. Come to find out, it had something to do with the swaybar bushings. It's been a while so I don't remember exactly but I think to fix it, I had my buddies shop take them off and wrap the sway bar with Teflon tape, where the bushing goes on. Instantly fixed the problem.
