Airmatic moving up and down

on it's own, even while driving. Seems like airmatic likes to level itself on uneven roads. It's not that noticable it but I can still hear it and see it moving up and down at stop lights. I wonder if I lower it with Star diagnosis I can also program it to stop adjusting itself. Nothing serious just another one of those old man observations of mine.

Anybody else have an opinion on this? I mean the airmatic really adjusts itself a lot and from a long term machanic life perspective it sure doesn't settle good with me.

The only time mine [noticeably] adjusts is when lock/unlock the vehicle -- when locking, I hear a "pssstsss" noise, like air being release, and the car lowers itself; when I unlock, I haven't noticed any noise, but I do notice a height adjustment (either up or down).

Other than that, there are no [noticeable] adjustments at stop lights, or anywhere else while the ignition is engaged, unless I press one of the airmatic buttons.

I'd have it checked.
