Front suspension noise at low speeds

After a trip on Amtrak's AutoTrain, my 2016 RDX immediately started making a squeak or groaning noise from the front suspension, especially at low speeds over uneven asphalt. Dealer says they can't hear it as usual. I've made a recording, however. There is a post about this elsewhere alleging that Amtrak ties the cars down too hard in the auto carriers, but Amtrak denies doing this -- all they do is set blocks and engage the parking brake. The track is really rough though and it's not unimaginable that the ride damaged something. I would very much appreciate tips on how to approach the dealer -- I've made a recording of the noise, but what in particular should I ask them to examine?

The dealer is not your only option here. Have an independent shop put your RDX up on a lift and inspect the front end. You'll need to show that something is wrong....and it was caused by whatever Amtrak did.
