you have a lot of people wanting to oil the hinges,,,,did you say it was not the hinges,,,thats what I thought you said,, ok
if the door is dragging at the side,, get something a little thicker than the gap when it is closed,,put this in the door and tru to force it shut,,,watch to see if the sides move when you do this,,you may can put a screw in the side part of the door that will hold it away,, you may need a 4 inch or so screw,,
you can try the same at the top but usually it doesnt work as well there
if this does not work,, about all you can do is reset the door or sand the places that touch
hope this helps

If I understand your question correctly, the door makes a loud sound when the door hits the frame as you close it.
If that's the case, you can get little dots of felt (about 3/8 inch diameter) that have sticky stuff on one side at a home improvement store. You can put a few of them along the inside of the door frame where the door strikes the frame. It doesn't completely get rid of the sound, but it helps.

oiling the hinges with WD-40, silicone spray, or 3 in 1 oil work but all attract dust. Any airborne particles will stick to the oily surface of the hinges creating a mess.
Any local hardware store (or hobby shop)will have graphite
powder available. Remove a hinge pin, wipe clean with rag or paper towel, rub with graphite powder and re insert. Repeat with remaining hinges. This treatment will last quite a long time depending on frequency of door swing.

Try adjusting the screws on the hinges. If that doesn't work, sand down the area on the door where it is in contact with the frame during open/close operation.

The easiest thing to do is to spray each of the hinges with a little bit of WD-40 (found in the car/automotive section of most stores) or a little bit of silicone spray. Open and close the door a few times to make sure the spray works itself into the hinges, and the squeaks should be gone.

Have somebody Re-hang the Door as age creeps up on houses and the wood heats contracts with the change in the
Seasons the the door becomes out of alignment and oil
the Hinges as the Metal aslo ages to and sometimes Rust.

the door needs to be shimmed or planed on the strike side of the door slightly so it does not rub when closed

my door was doing that not 2 long ago, and its mostlikely just gotten loose alittle bit @ the hinges, and needs tightening, and if the hinges squeak, spray wd40 or rub some olive oil, or rust lubricater
