What a garage door spring making noise usually means before it fails

A spring that squeaks is usually just dry — years of paint, dust and old lubricant built up on the coil until the wire started rubbing instead of flexing smooth. A spring that pops or bangs on each cycle is a different problem: one or two coils are already catching on the bar or on themselves, which is a sign the wire has started to weaken or shift out of its wind. Left alone, either sound tends to end the same way — a full break rather than a quiet fix.
