I had an annoying 'banging/tapping' noise when the front mount was gone.

lift the bonnet of your car, then sit in the car and start it

put the car in reverse and lift off the clutch a little - you will be to see any movement engine bay thru the gap at the bottom of the bonnet

do in first gear also

engine mounts are relativly cheap to buy & replace
