Forget screw drive or chain drive, the quietest is belt drive, all the premium garage door openers use them including craftsman, genie and stanley. The belt is a reinforced rubber similar to a timing belt anshould last a lifetime. I have 2 of them and my bedroom is above one. The only thing I hear is a slight hum of the motor, and if I wanted to, I could eliminate that motor noise by mounting the motor on rubber isolators.
Rolling codes are easy to program, there is a "program" button on the main unit of the opener and that will "teach" your homelink the code.

I'm not sure if it's a rolling code or not. I think the garage door opener is pretty old though. (10 years or so).

jjames, is yours a rolling code? All the rolling codes I had to do (about 8) has invovled using the base unit. Only my gate used the remote, but that is the dip switch technology.

I programmed my garage door opener by pressing the garage remote and aiming it at my visor while holding down the homelink button. I never had to worry about doing anything to the base unit.

Is this how you might open the gate to a gated community? Has anyone tried this?

I'm fairly certain that using your gated community remote will let you program your Homelink.
I'm also fairly certain that a gated community cannot use rolling codes. Think about it. You're out of the area, someone rolls up, opens the gate. The gate and that person's remote would roll codes. You come home, try to open the gate, but your remote no longer has the right code.
My mother in law has a 99 Accord EX with Homelink ... I programmed hers to open her community's gate, and her rolling code garage. Got burned by the continuation of directions for the rolling code the first time I tried ;-)

Our garage door opener is rolling code with two external remotes synced to it and 3 homelink transmitters. No problems...even when I'm across the state and come home for the weekend.

If that was the case, then wouldn't people with rolling code garage door openers with multiple remotes have the same problem...?

I'll have to look around and find out how they really work.
