Suspension sound

Hey guys I wanted to ask
I have a CBR 600rr model 2015
Mileage is 37,000km

My issue is that whenever my bike goes over a bump on the road or like small pot holes, there’s a weird sound that comes from the suspension even a tiny pot hole. I have got it checked here and they said it’s your suspension that makes the sound but they even said that it’s in a good condition.
I’m not sure about it that’s why I messaged here if someone had or has a similar issue with them.

I have the same problem with my 2016 model. Initially, I thought it was the bearings on the triple clamp, but upon inspection, they were fine. Then, someone told me it could be the front brake pads. The bike has 8,000 kilometers on it, and I don't know if I should be worried.
find a quiet place and try to figure out exactly what causes the noise, and where it's coming from.....

Did I stumble into "the most vague description of a problem wins" thread? I consider 8K klm to be low mileage. Post a video so we can maybe hear the problem.
I performed a check by lifting the front end of the bike in the air and grabbing both forks and I didn't feel any play in the bearing while pulling them. Just to be sure, I removed the upper triple clamp and tightened the nut by 1/16 of a turn, but I didn't notice any difference, and the sound was still present. I'm starting to think that the issue might be with the front suspension settings. I will try to make a video soon.
Could also be:

  • fork bushings
  • wheel bearings
  • brake caliper
  • brake pads

Sounds may be deceptive. It may also be coming from rear suspension

Do you think this could be the sound? Today I checked everything around the forks again, but I don't see what else it could be. I deliberately took a video to see if the brake pads are moving, but it's not clear from the footage.
The only ticking noise I hear is the sound of your brake lever switch.
