What a garage door spring making noise usually means

A torsion spring that squeaks with every open and close is almost always dry — the coils are rubbing against each other or against the shaft with no lubricant left to quiet the movement. A grinding or metallic popping sound is a different problem: it often points to a worn bearing at the center support or a cone that's starting to slip, and that kind of wear tends to get worse fast rather than settle down on its own.

Don't ignore a garage door spring making noise until it goes quiet on its own

A spring that's squeaking or grinding doesn't fix itself — it either gets lubricated and inspected while it's still holding, or it keeps wearing until it breaks, usually without warning. Once a spring snaps, the door goes from noisy to unusable in an instant, and the opener isn't built to lift that weight alone.
