Maybe but it can be just about anything from your description because it's not a known typical issue.
I would spend the money on a diagnosis and have a professional locate the problem. Internet diagnosing can be futile with limited information.

Your year and model has a known front control arm issue that can be very expensive to repair. If this is the problem, search the forums for the solution before repairing. There's an affordable way to do it. I've also seen more than a few posts about shocks/struts too. A trusted mechanic is the best way to approach this noise diagnosis.
Congrats on a very nice car.

If you just bought the car, have the dealer you bought it from take a look at it. Most times they'll also pick up the cost.
