May just be the tyres and the effect of the extra load on the profile. Assume you have Tourances or some other road/trail types with blocky tread? Have you adjusted the pressure for the extra load? Might be worth a look.

Thanks rick ive got tourances,Idid top up the air yesterday to allow for the extra load,I Think you could be right tho its a new bike and my 1st gs so maybe im a touch paranoid because im going away, it didnt sound mechanical as i throttled of it was still there. thanks for the quick response.

The ESA makes a little whirring noise as it jacks the suspenders up - is that what you heard? (Only does it when changing pre-load, not damping)

No it only seems to be whilst moving maybe just the extra weight
