That may help a little, but it is not a simple DIY project. My garage door has 10 metal rollers. The rollers are connected to an axle that is connected to the door hinges. It seems to me that the most noisy parts of the door movements are the metal axle and metal hinge connections, not the roller and track connections. Also, I think the noisiest part of the garage door is the motor and chain mechanism. The two best solutions are to live with a noisy door, or spend more money and buy a whole new garage door and motor that are designed to be quiet.
