Rattling doors When you find the door rattles when closed in its frame, slightly adjust the latch plate the door latch sits against. This will hold the latch a bit tighter which might be enough to stop a door rattling when closed.
Get a piece of weatherstripping and put it on the hinge side of the doorframe so the door compresses it when you close it. That puts a bit of pressure on the latch and it will reduce the rattling.

Use Door Shims: If the door is uneven, use wooden shims to adjust its position within the frame. Upgrade Hardware: Consider using nylon or ball-bearing hinges that are designed to reduce friction and noise.
Adding high quality seals around the door frame and installing an automatic or static door sweep can greatly reduce the transmission of sound in a doorway. We recommend Quiet Door™ Adjustable Perimeter Seals, which reduce sound transfer by forming a tight fit around the perimeter of a door.
There may be occasions when your squeaky door is caused by wood rubbing against wood, but most often, it's the door hinges that are to blame. It could be that the hinge pin or other component has broken and needs replacing or more commonly, there could be a lack of lubrication that's leading to friction and noise.
Sounds like your foundation has settled in an uneven way. Do you have a basement or crawlspace? I'd look under there. Maybe the ground wasn't properly prepared and compacted, or you have a high water table.
Best you can do is invest in some rubber pads to minimize rattling or start tightening things up around the house. Subs by design are going to shake and rattle anything that's loose. Tighten up your cabinet doors or install pads, silicone, felt, etc to just make the rattling inaudible to you.
Over time, the window panes can become loose due to wear and tear, causing them to vibrate and produce a rattling sound, especially in windy conditions. You can tighten the hardware holding the glass pane in place.
If there is a gap between the door leaf and the frame, it can cause the door to rattle whenever a breeze passes through the frame.
Use Felt Pads to Quiet Slamming Doors
Felt pads are a low budget option for silencing slamming doors. Simply place them around a door frame, and they'll help to soften the blow of a closing door, so it doesn't slam shut.
Rattling doors
The tab that sticks into the latch plate hole can be adjusted by using the top of a screwdriver to bend it slightly towards the stop. It's as simple as that – test it by closing the door and seeing if it rattles. If that doesn't work, try using self-adhesive foam pads to fill any gaps.
If the rollers make noise when the patio door panel is being opened or close, we recommend cleaning the track, lubricating the rollers, and adjusting the patio door panel.
The only areas on a door that need to be lubricated are where there is metal on metal. So at the top or head of the frame and the bottom or base of the frame along the inside edges where there is friction.
Use expanding foams to plug up any gaps in the door/frame. Add additional mass to your doors using blankets or mass loaded vinyl. Attach plasterboard or wood panels to your door. For best results, it is recommended that you install a solid or acoustic door combined with better insulation.
