Haaa it so quiet😊

Holy cow that is a huge difference.

wow that belt is sooooo silent

Great video. I now clearly understand the difference between belt and chain. Huge noise factor difference. My neighbor will be thankful.

The one on the right is the B550 and if you watched the last video you will see it. Meanwhile the left one is a new opener because in his last video he had a Chamberlain Lift-master chain driven garage door opener.

Just what I needed, thanks

I do like the right one it is so quiet but the left I recommend it to

which one will last longer?

The noise has little to do with the chain, but the motor design. You can have the same motor design with either chain or belt.

The new belts are steel cables encassed in rubber with an expected life span of 30 years.

Is the opener on the right a chain drive, and is the left a chamberlain belt opener? Thanks!!

Thanks a lot.

How do you adjust/activate that feature ? Is it just the way it's designed or set by default ? I have the Liftmaster my q 8500 series with electronic pushbutton controls. One of my doors stopped closing soft, the other is fine.

Square rail screw drive

3240s LiftMaster square drive what's the best opener at that time after 25 years I got out of the industry so I don't know what they have out there right now but I can tell you one thing stay away from genie, and I'm not talking about a 19 60s television show, when I bought my house I installed a 3280 which is a high-end 3240 it has the same motor as the residential Jack shafts which they have changed the number on now but the square rail screw drive is the best chain drives are the worst if you want to replace that gear assembly every 5 years and get a chain drive sure mine is coming on 14 years old never had a problem with it it's a LiftMaster square rail screw drive. 3280

? That was mostly motor noise...??

Wow! What a huge difference it makes! Thank you so much for sharing with us!

Sweet video. Really helped. Thanks.

I was trying to find out chain or belt and based on sound, it looks like the one I have is a chain! Thanks for the video!

Thank you for doing this side by side. Nobody else compares the 2 and my wife and I were trying to decide if it was worth it. We decided on the belt drive thanks to this video!

Belts deteriorate, with heat, cold, and can suddenly break right? if your OK with the noise, isn't a metal link one last longer, less likely to break?

My chain drive opener is just as quiet as a belt drive unit. They made a chain speader that is located right by the sprocket to keep it quieter than the old design. And as long as you do your annual lubrication to keep things running smooth, it should last 25 - 30 years. My third stall opener is 30 years old now.

Its funny because the actual motor sounds quieter on the belt than the chain.. It's almost like its not the actual chain that makes the noise but the actual motor in the belt driven one.. It tricks you

Eh, doesn't really matter though.

I love you.

I like it

great comparision, thank you!

your videos area awesome! I came here from the video comparing the noise of chain vs belt. These are perfect comparison videos. I didn't even know about soft start/close before watching this. Now its a must have! I 'm def going belt drive, with soft start, and wifi so I can open and close from my phone, and check to see if I accidentally left the garage door open even after I have left the house.

I had chain version for 10 years no issue. My belt with better horse power is struggling to open my garage door . I had to keep re adjust.

1:03 SOLD! Looking at Home Depot now... $140 lowest for both types. No brainer here.

Sold on the belt. Thanks for doing this comparison.

Very helpful; just what I was looking for. Thanks

Odd because I have always had the belt and it makes just as much noise as the chain. I prefer knowing when someone is opening up the garage and is home so I prefer the sound. But thanks for posting… great video !

You are doing God's work!

Belts way better great vid and well said btw our future home in Florida may have it

Very cool I like them both

What model is the opener on the right? I actually prefer it since it sounds a lot quieter. Thank you.

Makes you wonder why we have been putting up with chain driven for so long when the belts have got to be cheaper.

So what last longer? I’m assuming the chain. Chains do stretch, but I think the belt would stretch faster & need to be replaced sooner.

Wow! I’m actually in the process of replacing my old chain unit and is why I ended up here. Just ordered one yesterday.

thx

Were your garage doors insulated? Looked like you had some type of paneling on them?? Great video

interesting that the motor on the soft start/stop is noisier than the one without. wish you could combine the two somehow and get best of both.

Anyone a reasonable cost to install belt version. 1 car garage.

Belt drive it is! thank you!

All I care is the Garage door not failing when I drive up to park my car, noise for a few seconds can be tolerated.

Wow .. having a garage built and made the right choice with the belt vs chain .. thanks for the side by side

Myq

The belt drive seems to do alot of jerking back and fourth upon closing I wonder if that puts alot of stress on wheels and hardware
