I had that problem in my courtyard villa last year. Replacing the steel rollers with nylon ones didn’t help. What really worked was replacing the chain drive opener with a belt drive opener. With the old opener, I could hear it about four doors down the street. Now I can barely hear it when I’m in the garage. I love it. Not cheap, though! It’s not that the belt drive opener is all that expensive, but replacing any garage door opener is expensive.
