Belts are MUCH MUCH quieter--almost silent. You probably will not hear it inside the house.
However, my wife and I decided that we actually liked the rattle/noise the chain makes because now we can hear when the garage door is going up or down.
Not a big issue but I like to know when somebody is opening the garage door (our in-laws used to let themselves in via the garage) and coming into the house.
Besides--how would the dogs know you are home? LOL They definitely hear the chain and run to the hallway door for the greet-party.
Belt much quieter if that is an issue for you...
