thanks for the advice. I realized I could just send the links to the chamberlain support chat, and that guy told me to loosen the belt a little, now its quiet again.

https://streamable.com/xk11hc https://streamable.com/o8wxib Made these videos trying to figure out how to fix this. Note the opener is not under load. Up close it sounds like its coming from the trolley but after greasing the square rail, sound is unchanged. Just looking for ideas. Thanks!

Is it plausible that the squeal is coming from the enclosed interior of a 3 month old torquetube?

Thanks for the tips, just checked those out. I oiled that center plastic bushing (had greased it earlier) but it sounds the same. Then I removed the bolts for the center support right next to that bushing and just held up the center of the torquetube with my hand while moving the door up and...

Hi. Two months ago you all helped me figure out the panel popping noise on my new Wayne Dalton 16ft garage door: https://www.garagejournal.com/forum/threads/looking-for-feedback-on-garage-door-noise.495456/#post-9541038 which was resolved by them sending out two different techs who...

Okay so I had two visits from the installer. The first guy said the design is at fault and there was nothing he could do but lube, however he said they have an older guy on staff who is better qualified for this door. So the next day the older guy came out, said the design is partially at...

Good idea. Since its new though I'm gonna let them come out and evaluate it before making any changes.

thanks that's good to know. Am waiting on the builder to respond to my email right now, I'll review this with whomever he sends out to take a look at my door.

One builder for the whole development.

I'm searching and see that Blaster and 3-in-1 both make a product called garage door lubricant, but do not see one made by wd-40. Do you mean wd-40's lithium grease product? Here are all their products. https://www.wd40.com/products/

excellent, thanks for pointing that out. I can see it is twisted but what does a wear mark look like? The black stuff appears to be grease.

here are a few stills

Thanks all. I unlatched it and slowly moved it up and down manually. It balances about 1/3 of the way up, moves up and down very smoothly, the rollers glide smoothly in the rails, but wow there are these loud popping sounds coming from what appears to be the panels. I could not tell if the...

Hi. Just moved into a newly built house and had a local chamberlain installer put in a B2405 opener. He also lubed some of the parts. He mentioned that the door itself will hopefully quiet down over time. That was two weeks ago - the motor is quiet but I'm *really* noticing the noise the...
