Default 2015 A3 - Rear Shocks Noise

Has anyone else experienced any noise or squeeks from their rear shocks? It is considerably worse when I've been driving vs. the car sitting over night. Both sides do it. I'm at 20k miles, but it has done it for the last several thousand miles

Video is below. Sorry for the shaky video

My driver side shock made a squeek for a period of two hours on sunday (reproduced in garage as well,) the next day it was gone and has not occurred again.

Dust guard around the shock sometimes can cause these noises if it takes damage and then rubs against the shock, I haven't looked at mine.

I heard it clearly. Are you sure it is the shocks?
Did you inspect to make sure the dealer did not leave the shipping blocks in the rear springs?

Sounds like the Shocks or struts, but not 100 percent certain.

I can't imagine there is any shipping packaging in there. 2 oil changes and a tire rotation and no one said anything
