First... YES!
Second, what kind of noises? Be more specific. They could be typical or they might be a warning of loose things about to go bad!
Is it the seat track? Is it in the back? Have you had trim pieces off the inside? Trim clips are notoriously cheap and should be replaced if they don't completely snap in place.
The LC is a bit rattly, but they can usually be hunted down and fixed, either with some tape, a new clip, or some dynamat or similar product.

One normal rattle to our 80s is the track in the sunroof. Try opening your sunroof and see if the rattles stop? You can tighten the screws to the track of the sunroof. That is where mine rattle is! Benz.
The LC is a bit rattly that sound right or chattering feelings on dirt roads
If I go on speed bump the truck feels solid and no bouncy feeling with minimal body noise, but on rough bumpy road the truck feels stiff and noisy.
Does your cruiser feels tight or lose in body /trimmings fittings on rough bumpy . Truck drive flat,straight, smooth, solid feeling on nice well maintain freeway

The rattle sound sounds like something more than it is! But to answer your question, mine does feel tight and solid all the time. Just the sunroof rattle, and the drivers mirror shakes. I tightened up the mirror and it does it again soon. I love the way my 80 drives. Even out 4wheeling always controlled and a much better ride than anything I have owned! Benz.

About 20 seems to smooth things out. Now you are talking about my road home. We call it our fence, to keep all but the adventure people out!

May need some new shocks. These are solid axle beasts that weigh a lot and have a lot of unsprung weight. They are not quite as rallyable as an IFS like most other 4wd trucks at speed. In the cab rattling on washboard roads can happen. My 93’ dash would shake and rattle badly on washboards at speed until I installed some better shocks. Also, check that your steering cover (clamshell) between your steering wheel and the dash isn’t loose or cracked.
So maybe it's the solid axle typical driving characteristic vs ifs it what I'm coming to conclusion?
