A loud garage door is typically caused by metal-on-metal friction, unsealed steel rollers rattling inside dry tracks, worn-out hinges, or loose structural mounting hardware and loose track brackets vibrating against framing. Additionally, old chain-drive openers generate significant mechanical noise compared to modern belt-drive or direct-drive wall-mount models. Verification: Inspect rollers and hinges during manual movement to identify friction points and test after lubrication.
