Hi,
with reference to belt vs chain driven cars, I have heard people say that chain driven engines makes a more 'grunt' noise emanating from engine in comparison to belt driven ones where it is much less noisier. Is there any truth to this statement?

They can be a little noiser, especially on startup but shouldn't be too noticable. And deffinately not noisey all the time.
