You may find that the noise comes back with silicone spray only, but it is a good test first step.
I would wipe the door latch clean and apply white lithium grease to that contact point.
Fireman G. suggestion to wipe the rubber seal clean and silicone spray was proper.
I would also use a Light coating White grease on the 2 black adjustment blocks. It will last longer.
Always clean the surfaces before applying any new lubes.
It would also be a good move to do all the side door rubber seals as well.
Lift the hood and do the latch with grease and while there put a little on all the rubber touch points.
If you know how you can also check and adjust the hood for fit and proper close.
