Other suggestions for noise level are welcome.
We were having an issue with other people’s remotes opening our door and because the builder used the same openers for over 20 years we could not find a code that would prevent this.

We installed a chamberlain opener (Different brand) this May and the door is whisper quiet it was quite noisy previous. Now this is a blue tooth unit that once paired to your phone will set off an alarm letting you know it’s open and you can close it from anywhere that you have a phone signal.

Ours was crazy noisy but had nothing to do with the door.

Pull your red Release and operate the door by hand and you’ll see it’s quiet.
