QUICK ANSWER
Belt-drive openers move the door with a reinforced belt instead of a metal chain, so they are the quieter option when a bedroom sits over the garage. Atlas can repair or replace the opener. The homepage does not lock us to one brand.
Quiet matters more than the logo if the primary bedroom shares a wall with the garage.
When a belt is the point
A belt will not make a bad roller quiet. Fix rollers if the door itself rattles. The belt is about the motor noise on the rail. New openers sold in California need a battery backup. Read how that law works before you assume the old opener is illegal. Replacement is part of opener repair.
