on a previous car of mine i didnt torque this nut down enough and it made a sound similar to yours. it was tight, but not tight enough.

Were the insulators, the rubber parts between the spring and the shock housing replaced, are they damaged. The upper one is called "upper seat" and the lower one is called the lower insulator. If the rubber is damaged the spring would contact the metal housing and convey road noise to the car body.
