The following noise test was performed by TUV, a German test lab that sets standards for and evaluates industrial, commerical and consumer products:

Noise measurements were taken on 3 locations along the travel of the chain, while the chain was running at the top speed of 6.5 ft/sec. Measurements were taken about 3.25 ft away from the cable carrier.
