Suspension Noise

I'm not sure if it's normal for the BS, but it's something that I just noticed. I currently have about 1800 miles and just noticed that if my car sits for more than 3 days, for the first 10 minutes of driving I would hear the springs or suspension system making some type of grinding or light popping noise. It makes it when I make turns and even when I'm driving straight on the freeway. About 10 minutes later, it doesn't do it anymore. Anyone else here notice this? Normal?

As Jimmy said, it's normal especially if you live in a colder climate. Takes a few mins of driving for the suspension components to get some heat in them
