But your example illustrates the point nevertheless. Is it an inside joke by sound engineers? A glitch in the Matrix? The sound I was talking about was of a normal door, with a door handle, the kind you probably have on your room.

Is it this one: http://www.bemmu.com/antti/DSDOROPN.WAV ? That sound is from Doom. I'm not sure that is it, but I think it predates Half-Life. At least I started hearing that repeating door sound in some movies even before I had heard of HL. Can you remember any movies where the sound can be heard? All I can remember is that in some B-movie there was a fighting scene which happened in some theme park which had dinosaurs (not Jurassic Park - the dinosaurs weren't alive). Then at some point in the fight someone enters through a park door and it makes that repeating sound (which might be different from the sample). I’ve been noticing those door samples too.
