Had anyone else experienced a loud knocking sound, when going over speed humps or rough road

It sounds awful, like the whole bottom end of the car wants to fall off. its only noticeable when moving slowly or going over rough road or bumps.

Apart from this the car is very quiet, but i am starting to get rattles in the driver side door.

It could be swaybar clunk or the strut piston nut is loose or can't be tightened down enough [in the case of aftermarket shocks usually]. The sway bay clunk is fixed with 2 rubber/urethane hoses and clamps, and the piston nut is fixed with a washer in most cases. When tightening the piston nut, have the car jacked up [wheels off the ground] to pull on the nut so it has resistance to tighten against.
