I've noticed some too but I tend to "hear" things when it comes to my cars.

Here's what i've gathered So Far!
On a hot day when i get out of work i turn on my air condition i hear popping sound from the dash board like some plastic stuff hardenning up from temperature change
When i make a left or right turn a sound ( TICK ) coming from my sunroof when its close
When cover for the sunroof is open. there is a creaking sound coming from it.

I got a lot more but i dont know which one bothers me the most

Default hey

its normal for a car to make creaks when going on curbs or some change in the suspension.
our cars arent made 100 percent solid. they have to give a little.
expect your car to creak up to a certain point under stock conditions. If your car is all stock and it creaks way too much, its a design flaw, because a Lexus isnt suppose to make much noise at any cost.

Unless you want the body welded to a 4x6 ladder frame (and weight an extra 1000 lbs), you're going to get some creaking with a unibody. Deal with it.

i'm not too picky about creaking as i do know its normal but based on what i heard in my car it seemd a little abnormal and worthwhile to post about it. but thanks for the feedback

Now ARISTO 161made a better point on saying maybe is a design flaw on certain cars. But you dont tell people Deal with it! Sounds like it was a watse of your time to even post a comment.
