Sorry for the wind noise
My frame/shock (RS Deluxe Select+) is making cracking noises.
I bought this bike brand new at the beginning of the year. I greased the bearings and checked that all bolts are tightened to the correct torque.
I’m a bit worried that the carbon frame might be the reason for the noise.
Does anyone have an idea what I should do?

From the video I cannot tell anything but have you checked these things?
1) Is the headset adjusted well / any play?
2) Does it matter if you are pedaling or not?
3) Does it matter if you are seated or standing?
4) Can you reproduce it in a parking lot by bouncing the bike up and down?
There are a lot of things that can make noises like that but from your video, just guessing, I would look at pedals (any play / can you wiggle them), the cranks (same, any play/wiggle?), and the headset…
