It shouldn't be there and the repair should be covered by their warranty. Strange noises coming from the forks are nothing to ignore and hope they go away. It is not much fun to be riding and have your fork come apart on you, unless you are a good with a unicycle. It may be something simple, or it could be a crack in the forks.

just an update on the rattling fork issue found problem it was the brake mechanism over the wheel the blocks were actualy hitting side of the wheel rims creating taping sound when going over a rough patch of road just tighened main support nut a bit ....phew was losing sleep:cool:

A noise she couldn't track down on her bike is the reason Carrie went postal at the prom.
