What part of suspension absorbs noise?

I was wondering if there are bushings or similar parts that dampen the noise when the car hits a pothole. After 87k miles, the car got louder whenever driving over potholes. So I am looking at ways to remedy this problem. Any suggestions?

dont drive over them? jk...well your suspension is getting old, and like everything, it gets a little worn with age...if it bothers you that much have it checked out, but when you hit potholes, i dont think there is a car that doesnt make a noise....

Bushings are not that expensive.
