Noises from 90s cartoons

Noises from an old cartoon, like the ones we've all seen at some point in our lives, are often the most memorable. You might remember the clunky sound of a garage door as though you were still watching it on TV. But that doesn't mean it's not embarrassing when your garage door makes those same noises in real life!

The best way to check if this is true for you is to listen to your door as it's opening and closing. If there are loud grinding sounds coming from it, then this could be a sign that the rollers need oiling or replacement.
