Forgot to mention to “curl the knuckle!”. Earlier I wrote about getting the hand further under the neck, but you will never get far enough under to come at the fretboard with straight fingers, the last leg is a bend at the knuckle. You want to get off the pad of your fingers and right up on the tip directly under the fingernail.

Combining those 2 actions should help to eliminate some of the “thud”:
1. pushing the hand further under the neck (like you were trying to reach around it)

2. curling your knuckles and fretting with the tip of your fingers
