Default coilovers with edfc (wierd sound)

i have tein ssp coilovers with edfc installed on my car. before the edfc was installed on the car it was nice and quiet. but now that i have the edfc installed on the car it makes a sounds that doesn't sound right. it sounds like air is being pushed out of the coilovers when i hit bumps. i know this doesn't sound normal. do any of ya'll have any tips to what it might be? any help will be appreciated.

mine started doing this last month, also. I think this is NOT suppose to be happening because during the first 8 months, this did not happen.

mines did that from day 1, some coils/struts just make that sound when the spring is compressed and decompressed.
