front of car (maybe suspension) randomly squeaks over bumps

ive searched everywhere for a probable cause of this but cant find anything accurate to what im experiencing. There are random days I will drive for 2+ hours and never hear it but then there are other days where i would hear this tiny squeak when going over a bump or driving on a bumpy road that can only be heard without music playing and the AC off. the day i discovered it i even tried to figure out where it was coming from but when i would intentionally go over a speed bump or something i wouldnt hear it, just while driving on roads where i hit that random change in incline. i suspect its the suspension because i cant think of any other reason for it but coming here for help please

i brought my car in too and they couldn’t find anything. They said they checked all of the suspension and found nothing and when they drove it no squeaks. It’s just it’s so random it’s hard to identify the cause. It almost seems to show up one every 5 days

My car does this when one side of the car is getting suspension compression and the other stays relatively flat.

I thought it was because I am lowered, could be, but not sure. Sounds more like rubber on rubber interference than a squeak though

Mine is more often than once every 5 days, I feel like it happens way more when the weather is wet (rain or snow). I tried greasing everything visible on the suspension it only reduces the noise for a couple days. I have the feeling it comes from the hidden parts of the suspensions. Also it becomes worse with time
