Some have said that they hear a funny noise in the front over small bumps thats a high pitched squeek, ping, change jingling type of noise.

I believe its just the struts making noise as they transfer the fluid inside them, but I could be wrong. I have always put if off as normal.

I recorded a video to compare what people think, and for others that might have the sound too if its not normal.

Listen close and sorry for the wind noise.

Edit: Whats up with youtube embedding, it works in one part of the forum (NEPOC section) and not here?

Last time I was at the dealer I brought that up and I went for a ride with a tech from the dealer. He just said it's the noise of the strut as it compresses. It gets annoying when you are cruising with no music just listening to the engine.
 
yeah....my car makes this weird noise sometimes over bumps in the front drivers side. It sounds like something is broken, but it doesnt do it all the time, and it doesnt drive like anything is broken.
 
Yakitate!! whaaaa (sadbanana)


Could it be your endlinks? Mine is loose due to stripped bolt after some dumbasses put my coil springs on. But on the bright side i got coil overs in my garage and some awr front endlinks in the mail.(idhitit) It makes more of a clunkin sound over bumps worse at low speeds.
