Strange door closing noise

[Euro76]

Whenever I close any of the doors, sometimes once the door closes it emitted sort of "TICK" noise. I never had this before but the last few days it happens. I thought it was because of cold weather got something to do with metal...but I am not sure. Anyone had same problem?

oil the hinges?
or the sound could be the door actually closing.
but its more of a DOOF.. sound not a Tick sound..

The tick happens because some dirt has gotten into the hinges. Happens even worse with older cars which have accumulated more dirt as the tick sound turns into a creak.

yes! i had the same problem. if u shake the door u can hear it as well.

sounds like u have a little stone in the door, and u can hear it when you shake the door.

but the sound on mine has disappeared without me having to do anything...

most probably its the check strap on the door, so is not the hinges but the metal piece in the middle of the door that stops the door opening too far out.

try some grease on it which may make it more quiet.

yeah i must admit putting grease on it generally doesn't help much but does a little with tick tick grease.

to Euro76, i wouldn't worry too much about it as it doesn't hurt the car in anyway just gets alittle annoying with the tick when you open and close the door, but you will get use to it.
