Assuming you have't discovered the self-healing muffler... one possibility is 
that the bump caused the exhaust system to move into contact with the frame.  
Pretty easy to do on a 3 or 4 as there is very little clearance in spots.  This 
can produce quite an annoying noise.  Later, a small road bump or just heating 
up might have been enough to relieve the contact.
