Question Noise from going over speed bumps?

I have a 08 3.0 model. So no rear air suspension.

When going over a steep speed bumps or an obstacle, I hear a short hissing noise like 'whoosh~' coming from the suspension; sounds as if air being released.

I understand the shock absorbers are gas charged in the X5, but is it normal to hear that noise from inside the cabin? The gas is supposed to be pressurized, so it shouldn't escape.
Do any of you have this problem?
I thought you only hear that in old cars with worn out dampers.

I do too. And my e90 is even worse. And it's only with the front suspensions. I brought it to the dealer and they said it's normal.

The sound seems to be worse with the rear suspension.
