If your door seals are visibly in OK condition, try this simple fix:

Get a short piece of 2x4 or similar wood block. Size isn't really important.

Close it in the door at the latch (striker plate). Push in, evenly, on the top of the door frame. You're looking to gently bend it in, maybe 1/8" tops.

Repeat for passenger side. Repeat for rear doors if it seems to be noisy there too.

Test drive to confirm any improvement. It usually helps!

Good luck with the car, and the noise, and the wife, etc...
