Default squeaky suspension

Sort of a basic question, but I did search the forum; it may be that the problem is one of perspective.

My car makes a sort of groaning noise when I drive (slowly) over speedbumps etc. But I've had it checked out twice: both at a regular Tires Plus place and at a tuning shop (because they're going to be putting in my first mods). Both these guys say there's nothing wrong with the suspension. So here's my question: does that mean that A4s are simply supposed to squeak, and thus all is truly well. Or that they're wrong and I need new shocks? Or (and?) that A4s stock are really like that but if I want no squeaking I should upgrade the suspension?
