There are several noises there. I hear the air stopper on the bottom and the hinges.

The air stopper doesn’t drag really. There’s a thin metal strip screwed flat to the bottom of the door frame and the door keeps rubbing against that.

There's a lot of variables here. If the door is sagging, can be adjusted at the hinge. The weather stripping at the bottom sometimes has oval holes allowing for some adjustment. Also, sometimes the base that it's rubbing on can also be adjusted up or down.

Where does this noise come from?

I’m pretty sure the thin metal strip attached to the floor, the threshold

That's really bad.

Some thresholds can be adjusted. Look for little screw covers in the shape of circles in the threshold. Pop them out and adjust the screws to adjust the height of the threshold if that is rubbing too much. The noise once past the threshold: take each hinge pin out, clean off with a rag, wipe down with some 3-in-1 lubricating oil, put back in place However, I would start with cleaning and oiling the hinge pins to see what noise that eliminates first. Root cause of it all could even be wood stress movement. Maybe the house settled or the door was poorly installed. Or someone worked on it before and “forced” it in place with longer hinge screws and now the natural movement is working against it and proving it is the bigger badass.
