I had the same problems, and yes it was the upper strut mounts and a leaky strut. A good way to look for this is to open the hood with the car off and then push the car up and down in the front..you should see the struts popping up kind of high hear the same noise. Other suspects could be the brushings and boots..get under and move the brushing with your hand..there should be no play.

Do you get the noise only over bumps? Or all the time?

I had the brake noise too. It went away with new brakes. It was shaky calipers.
