Not sure how old your home is, but one problem that happens over the first year is the bolts that hold the door together work loose. This allows the door to twist and rack some as it goes up and down and this causes excess noise. Take a socket wrench and tighten every bolt in the door and if you find a lot of them loose, only takes a turn or two on each, it will become a lot quieter. Also tighten all the mounting bolts for the tracks and wall brackets. WD-40 works, but as it is a water based fish oil it desolves quickly. A thin coating of grease in the tracks and on all the moving parts will last a lot longer.
