Default Cricks and Creeks

My 2007 is a little over a year old with only 5,200 miles on it. It's got the base suspension. It seems a bit noisy to me. Not like there is a problem but it makes sounds I normally associate with more miles. Any one know if this is typical or have had a similar situation? Thanks.

Our 08 coupe with 5900 miles, is completely quiet, except for the TIRE NOISE of the run flats. But, it a great car,, most smiles per gallon ( SPG )

My '08 Vert is amazingly quiet but it has developed (on heavy bumps with top up) an occasional squeak in the driver's side window along the top where it meets the roof rail. My Vette is quieter than a friend's '07 MB SL55. (also faster, better handling, better brakes, better looking) I have 10,460 miles.
