Default garage door opener

Its time for a new opener on the garage. Which type of drive is quieter,
belt or screw drive? Is either one signifigantly more reliable or trouble
free?
Thanks, Dave

Do a little searching back in this group. That question is asked
approximately 4977 times per week.

Ever heard of Google Groups?

There are differences so it is not always one quieter than the other.
Generally belt will be quieter and screw more reliable, however quality
counts more.

Some of the new ones are very quiet. We don't know how long they will
last however.

In addition, noise is also dependent on how well they are installed and
where the noise is being measured.
