Flat spotted nose wheel(s) will be unbalanced and they are not snubbed (rotation stopped) like the mains. They will keep turning until they rub up against their respective spring loaded pads up in the ceiling of the wheel bay. Vibes will be transmitted up thru the leg or strut into the aircraft structure.
Nothing to worry about, relax and enjoy the ride.
