We are looking for recommendations for a quiet door opener. I'm not sure what these new "smart" openers do but I don't think the smart features are a necessity. Just looking for a really quiet reliable garage door opener.

Upon doing some research, I see there are three different types of drives available.....
chain drive, screw drive and belt drive. I'm aware the chain drive is the loudest so we will eliminate that one. Of the two drives left, which drive do you recommend, screw drive or belt drive?

Many thanks in advance for your recommendations.

EDIT: After reading some old threads about garage door openers, I see Ryan O'Cull is highly recommended for the installation. We will most likely call him to do the installation.
