Refrigerator is less than 2 months old. I noticed it early on, but now the sound is getting more noticeable. Sounds like a slight grinding or raspy sound. Is there a bearing in the hinge that could be damaged or dry? I do not store gallons of milk or heavy liquids in the door.
Could be the hinge, most likely the lower hinge. Fridge hinges usually have a plastic insert in the door to prevent metal to metal contact. This insert sometimes wears prematurely and then metal may start to make contact , thus the grinding sound. The insert can be changed fairly easily if you are so inclined.

Freezer section evaporator fan motor bearing are going out. This would be indicted by a high pitched squealing noise. Have the fan motor replaced and it should solve your problem.

After reading these posts, I fixed my refrigerator door in less than 5 minutes. The little black plastic cam on the bottom hinge was loose. To fix it, take the hinge cover off of the top with an 8mm socket, and remove the three 8mm screws holding the top hinge on. Remove the door by lifting up off of the bottom hinge and set it aside. On the bottom hinge is a black plastic cam held on by an 8mm screw. The screw on mine was really loose. Tightening it and putting the door back on made it work like new. You probably don't have a bad cam, just a loose one.
