Default Suspension noises

Hi folks.
The only thing occasionally spoiling the otherwise serene calm of my 8 is, I think only on the offside front, the odd crunching / crashing sounds, although only really on speed bumps / larger potholes etc. The car has been checked over and other than the usual wear on some of the bushes, no issues were obvious. I have only been running the car on "dynamic" setting to date.

Today, and on reading other threads re air suspension noises etc, I put the car into both "lift", and "comfort" modes. The car seems to go up and down without undue fuss so all seems to be working correctly. What I did notice however, although it was a relatively short drive, is that the o/s front suspension crunch seems not to occur when in these higher modes.

Given the above, does anyone have any idea as to the likely suspects / culprit of the noises when in dynamic? It seems chasing suspension noises can be a long and expensive process for what I've read.

Thanks
