My garage had the original very
noisy chain drive unit, and I also had a
Chamberlin belt drive installed.
It is amazing how much quieter the
door operation is now!
In my case most of the objectionable noise was do to the opener.
IMHO if you have a chain drive opener and it’s old and noisy
I’d look into replacing it.
Plus the newer ones are WiFi and and be controlled from you smart phone.
How many times have you driven away from home and then
thought “Did I close the garage door”.
