Chain vs Belt Driven Garage Door Opener.

This is simply a comparison of the noise from the opener itself, not the door.
The Lift Master(chain drive) came with the new house. It just wasn’t ideal for me because there is a room right above the garage. And that room happens to be my office.
If it was a detached garage it would be fine.
I switched it out for a Genie 750(belt drive). What a difference in sound! There is a little noise, nowhere compared to the amount of noise from the chain drive.
I recommend this product for a attached garage.

Liftmaster chain drive too noisy (Before)

Genie belt drive is very quiet (After)

The LiftMaster, 8165 change drive I think the chain was too low in the track because it’s too loose. It makes a buzzing sound.

Did you have change the rail and sprocket at the end by the the wall or can you use the same hardware?

That was a perfectly working liftmaster and you really had to replace it I don’t mind my liftmaster 3265 chain drive

My house was built in 2018, and we have the 2 of the same liftmaster models as here shown in the video and today there still running, even tho my house is 2 stories they are still running today even tho my room is above the garage it still does not bother me lol

The genie sounds like an fresh new luftmaster

That’s what my garage does u can hear it from the floor I have a boxy liftmaster

Well if the garage door was lubricated and the chain was tighten up to 1/2 inch above the rail I think it would be a lot more quiet

Good job with the video. Sorry for my rude comments along time ago.
