Solution
The
hinges
of
the
door
produce
a
squeaking
sound.
These phenomena are observed due to the force of friction.
Friction is a kind of resisting force which opposes the motion.
Door hinges are prone to squeaking if the pin in the hinge bends out of shape or if the screws in the hinge are not sufficiently tight.
