Could be anything, could be you have your window open and heard it more, could be you are actively listening for it

Get under your car and have a look for damage

How many miles? Stock suspension?

How is anyone supposed to assist you if you barely provide any information.

If you have high mileage, chances are your shocks are blown or your springs are starting to sag.
If you searched, you would have found that.

ok

ok thanks, but ok i searched for the subject, but there is a lot of corrupted info, you think i should just spent two hours reading and reading to find the answer, isn't better to ask help, if it was me the one that somebody ask help, i could do one of two things, i can give the url of an old post of mine related to the subject, or just answer;

And yes the mileage of my car is 82600 so i'm just wondering if i have to buy the springs or just the shocks, or if i better go to the shop to let my car checked...

Don't take it personal, they do that to everyone. If you read this forum enough you will find that most of the "old schoolers" asked the same stupid dumb questions that they accuse the "noobs" of asking. Of course in their defense their was not the extensive database then that exist today. The new people just pick up the vibes from the old and copy them. I do a lot of reading and have learned a lot. However I understand that everyone does not have the time or patience to do that.

That said I would suspect the shocks are bad. My went out in 40k, but I average about 8k a year, so maybe just sitting up made the go faster. $300 for replacements from rock auto and $300 for installation. It drove like a champ after installation. Keep in mind this was only the rears. I will probably do the front this summer.
