I am hearing a single pop/clunk sound coming from the engine bay only when I accelerate from a dead stop.

It would be best to have the vehicle inspected at a tire and alignment shop. The people there are experts at finding the causes of noises, vibrations, and bad tire wear. This could be as simple as a collapsed engine mount allowing the the metal parts to bang against each other when the engine rocks during acceleration. It could be as serious as a worn suspension part moving around. That can allow the alignment to change, and in worst cases, a part could separate, leading to loss of control and a crash.
