I wouldn't worry too much - it just sounds like somethings startled him 
Yup. He could've heard something that we humans couldn't hear and it spooked him.
He was likely in a power nap mode and the door opening spooked him.
I second Blue Eyes above -- rabbits can hear much higher frequency than humans, and their hearing is much more sensitive.
It's not uncommon for a pet rabbit to startle at a sound they hear that we can't.
I recently had one of my rabbits startle & thump underneath the kitchen table for seemingly no reason. After she kept doing it, I opened up the slider to see if there were noises outside I couldn't hear inside. It turns out she was thumping at three deer she saw way, way back in the woods. Apparently it's not just sounds that can spook them!

Speaking of great hearing and spooked bunnies with thumps of anger. My rabbits started thumping early this morning. They knew someone was at the door before my husband and I did.
So, on the off chance, maybe it was something outside that scared him. Either way, as long as your baby is eating and being normal after that, all is good. Right?
