What a garage door spring making noise is usually trying to tell you

A dry squeak is the easiest fix — the coil just needs lubrication where the metal winds are sliding against each other with every open and close. A grinding or scraping sound is different; that's usually metal contacting metal at a bracket or end plate that's worked loose, or a coil that's no longer sitting where it should on the shaft. A sharp pop or bang, even a small one, can mean a coil is starting to separate. None of these sound the same up close, which is why the noise itself is the first diagnostic step, not an afterthought.
