Question Interior noises level

Hello,

I am new to the Lexus SC400 do you hear any rattles inside the car when go over bumps or rough road surface. Mine do rattle a bit especially from the passenger side. It is a lot better than my BMW but it is definitely as quite and smooth as my friends' LS430. Is it normal for this car to rattle over bumps or it is just my car.

I also notice some squeal noise from the suspension when going onto ramps that goes to my driveway. Thanks for feedback!

No rattles for me but I do hear some squeaking noise coming from my suspension. I believe it's the original shocks/springs. Don't know where the problem is. Could be the shocks.

Oil (lube) your suspension components may help. I am thinking about bringing my car to Jiffy Lube where they change your oil and lube your car (not sure exactly where they do the lube job, I assume all the joints)
