Front shocks squeek over speed bumps?

Just curious if anyone else has noticed this on their 2011 gt? When I go over a speed bump I hear the front shocks squeek as they are compressed even going slow. No sound from the back and I don't recall hearing this until about 3k miles. I have 4k on it now.

Doubt it is the shocks, maybe a bushing or the spring moving in the seat.

Possibly the same as the TSB for the 2010?

TSB 09-24-16

Some 2005-2010 Mustang 4.0L/4.6L, 2007-2010 Mustang Shelby GT500 vehicles built on or before 8/3/2009 may exhibit a grunt/creak/squeak/chirp noise from the lower control arm hydro bushing. The grunt/creak noise may occur over large vertical bumps like speed bumps and pot holes. The squeak/chirp noise may occur over bumps rough roads, and driveway approaches

i go over multiple speed bumps and up/down angled ramps every day in my commute and my suspension, although floaty, makes not one peep.

I have a brembo package car and when I go over bumps there's noise like I have bunch of coins in my suspension. Its the sound when you shake bunch of coins together.

No idea what it could be

The front shocks on my '08 creeked when going over speed bumps after only being a few months old. Turned out to be bad shocks, replaced under warranty with no problems.

I think creek would be the best word to describe the sound I am hearing.

I have noticed a slight creak when I pull into the driveway, but I barely notice it usually, though it is quite pronounced if I have the windows down. Granted though I just pull straight in since it's at the end of a cul-de-sac and the bump is unusually harsh for a driveway. Dunno, but it seems to match what you're describing.

Haven't done anything about it though, other than hit the driveway a little more gently.
