That's your tranny
That clunking sound you hear is inside your transmission, the little stacked plates are coming back together and when they slap they go clunk when slowing down.
Not a problem but that didn't happen on my XA till 80K miles though.

Still having the weird noise at 3500rpm, but my main problem is the clunking noise when braking. It had stopped for a while but is back to doing it again. I've taken the car in 3 times to 2 separate dealers and they cannot figure out what it is. The brakes have been checked inside and out and they found no issues. Since it only happens at a particular speed and the car must be warmed up and driven for a while, my guess is transmission related possibly...or that's what others have suggested. No one with either dealership wants to even check trans.
So finally I'd had enough and we called Scion customer service. They are supposed to call us back sometime today to see what we need to do next but will possibly have someone over regional to come and look at car but not sure when that will be.
Oh, btw, I now have a wheel bearing out on the driver side front too...just peachy.

Paris that's a bummer about the wheel bearing. It just adds to the frustration?
I hate the clunk noise too, it probably is the transmission...When the car is out of warranty, transmissions can cost over $5000
Let me know if you find out anything?

Still not sure when someone will come look at my car, but found out from Scion case manager that when he contacted the dealership that we last took it to, they stated that they couldn't replicate the problem...that is total BS! They heard the clunk noise several times, it's just the fact they didn't know what it was and couldn't fix anything. I'm so aggravated that they lied about it.
I'm seriously thinking of getting rid of this car and trying something else. I haven't been pleased with any part of this car or the service (or lack there of) that I have received. Can't seem to get anything done.

We sold two cars to buy this car and we still had to borrow some money to pay for it...I now have 3500 miles on this car and I'm not happy thinking I have a problem that no body can find. I'm frustrated too!

I owned a 2005 xb before this and never had any issues with it. I'm a little worried that things are already going wrong when I've only owned it a little over a month.
Definitely going to take my car in to get checked but is anyone else having the same issue? Have any ideas what could be causing this?
