2023 Felt VR 60.

I hit a bump while riding and now the front of my bike creaks. If I apply pressure on my handlebars, I can even hear it without riding. It sounds like the noise is coming from between the handlebars, so I’m thinking maybe it’s the headset? But I’m not sure.

Here’s a video of the sound: https://youtube.com/watch?v=7mbQVzI_Jj4?feature=share

    If that’s the case I would suggest loosening your top cap, then loosening your stem bolts, then tighten your top cap and then finally tighten your stem bolts. The top cap should only be taking up slack to tighten everything in the headtube. If it was loose and creaking then your stem was probably loose and/or slightly too high.

      Yeah, that’s the process I did, just cut out the parts about the stem bolts :)
