Is there a 'normal' bike noise?

Other than the clicking of the freewheel, is there a normal bike noise?

My Specialized bike sounds like the noise in this commercial, except slightly amplified.

I'm pretty sure the constant clicking sound is coming from the chain going into the rear derailleur pulleys at a certain angle.
I'm not trying to debug though- I just want to know if every bike has this noise. My old Trek had this noise too.
 
Did it do it all the time or did it just start after a while. Check the idler pulleys on the derailleur cage. Mine start to get noisy when they get gunk on them.
