Default Noise

I'm basing my comments based on Amazon's, assuming yours is the same, where the front shocks pass centrally down the spring inside. Yours may be different. If yours are the same when you changed the springs, you will have removed the bottom shock mount. These mounts rely on pressed shaped washers and rubbers which perish and rust. This allows movement in the bottom mount and causes the noise particularly going over bumps. Worthwhile to watch the area while an assistant presses the front end down.As others have suggested, jack the car front up centrally and rotate both wheels checking for a different sound which would suggest tired bearings. Surely not at both sides.
