Most likely your blend air door if your hearing a "thump". It moves to change where your heat is coming out, defrost, floor. If the door or actuator wears out it wont stay in position allowing it to move. I'll bet thats what your hearing.

your heater fan motor is probably shot, it randomly comes and goes (screeching and banging like a hunk of metal in a drier lol)
when it makes the noise try kicking/hitting the underside of the dash on the pass. side
