The feedback spin resonance was observed in inelastic neutron scattering (INS) experiments for numerous unconventional superconductors. In particular a different kind of feedback has been found in the Ce-based ferropnictides. We analyze the influence of unconventional superconductivity on crystalline electric field (CEF) excitations of rare-earth ions. Our theoretical model shows that the resonant magnetic excitations of the conduction electrons below Tc is a result of the formation of the bound state in the 4f-electron susceptibility at energies well below the CEF excitation energy. The transition between CEF split Ce-4f states has anomalous shift and line-width which is explained as an effect of coupling to resonant 3d spin excitations below Tc giving evidence for a S± state.
