2  other things to do to quieten door down:

1 - if not already done, some deadening pads (b-quiet or the like, or ice guard roofing stuff) on the inner surface of sliding door

2 - minor reduction of noise with same sound deadening on inside of sliding door track cover.

One of these days I�m going to explore the possibility of tires of some sort on the door rollers. PolyU or the like.
