From what you described in your other post about not being able to pedal and now this I would go with my first suggestion in the other thread. Go look it up. Just kidding.

I still think you screwed your bb. You said you have found water in there which means it has been soaking the bb, the pedals don’t spin easily and now you are getting vibrations from it.

Here is what I think happened; when you landed from the drop something gave in the bb which sounded like the shock bottoming out. Since you thought it was the shock you became more in tune with what the shock was doing and started to hear all the regular noises it was making and got so concerned about it you neglected to check the bb. When you went to the shop you told them about the shock but did not ask them to check the bb (some shops you need to specify what you want them to check out).

Try this if you have the tools, remove the cranks from the bb spindle and try and spin the spindle with your fingers. It should spin very easily with virtually no drag. Then try and wiggle the spindle around, there should be no play at all. Then get a new bb

I could be wrong since I can not see the bike first hand but that is what it sounds like.

Oh yeah, you could have really screwed up and cracked the frame near the bb, do a very close inspection of the area.
