I had the same noise. No mechanic could find anything wrong.
Saw this post and gave that strut collar nut a try and it worked!!
What I done is loosen that nut, put wd40 in that area and let it run and I put copper anti-seize gel and try to get it inside that area where the strut sits.
Jacked up the arm from under to preload it while the nut is still loosen. Once strut is compressed enough l then tightened up to around 60nm torque + extra 1-2 turns.
Let the arm down and then give it one more turn.
Then noise completely gone! I had it on both sides and did both.
