Stand on the pedals and hop up and down without pedaling. If it’s not making a noise then it’s not the suspension spring. Then flip it upside down and spin the pedals to determine where the sound coming from.

Could be that rusty crank or the rusty bottom bracket or the rusty shocks or maybe the rusty chain or the rusty cassette.

Sounds like the pedal bearings are grinding. I’d start there with oil, but they’re cheap to replace.

Abnormal would be not having any sound at all

Everything is so rusty that I would be surprised if it didn’t make noise, try to oil the joins and get some of the rust off with steel wool or something

Nothing that doesn’t cost a decent chunk of change will fix that bike, unless you have tools just use grease on each surface and ride it until you can’t anymore

Could be a dry chain
Could be a worn drivetrain
Pictures or video of the other side?
Just a tiny bit of oil would do
Lack of maintenance sound.
