I had a similar noise a few years ago. I was sure it was the chain, though it wasn't worn and the clunk didn't seem to be present when I span the rear wheel with the bike on the centre stand.
After a couple of months (and a couple of thousand miles), I finally spotted a crack right across one of the side plates. :eek
It was an inner one and I guess the gap closed up when the chain wasn't under tension, at least to begin with, which made it very difficult to spot.
