Front door creak noise when opening

I have searched so forgive me if this is a known issue.

When I open the driver's door there is a horrible creak sound (think haunted house) when most of the way open - just as it is passing the resistance that keeps it open in a breeze.

All the hinges etc. seem well greased - tons of copper grease.

Everything looks to work fine but it sounds bad and makes it feel like a cheap old banger.

Ideas?

Can of spray grease and door check strap needs spraying inside the door using straw supplied with can. Work door open and closed a few times.

Common sense really, init?

if that doesn't sort it try lifting the door up and down from the door catch end with door open just in case you have a worn hinge pin.

Blue tac will fix it. Make two half inch balls of it and stick one in each ear.

Thanks for the replies. I have fair soaked the door check strap and the hinges themselves have copious copper grease already. Still sounds the same though. It is a horrible graunch of a noise. Passenger door and boot do it but much quieter and I am suspecting it is simply a case of TADTS.
