Generally, they don't make a sound. When you go over a bump, and your car keeps going "bounce, bounce, bounce" several times before it settles down, your shocks are shot. The shock absorber's job is to damp the car's springs - the springs are the real "shock absorbers". The actual shock absorber is supposed to stop the spring after the first "bounce".
