This is my first garage door opener so I can't compare how the above deal compares to Costco one apart from HP. I see Costco has a extra device called Hub i guess.

"Smart Garage door opener comes with built-in MyQ technology to keep you connected and protected: open, close, and know the status of your garage door from anywhere with a smartphone or tablet with the MyQ App"

So basically it tells me i can open close my garage door even if I am not home or in my home network.

grumble wrote: ↑ Nope doesn't matter. 1.25hp is overkill for you but will work fine. What will make it quiet is getting a belt (like this one) versus a chain, the belts are a fair bit quieter. Chains are totally fine if you don't have a bedroom over the garage, modern chains aren't all that loud and are a bit more reliable, but belts are certainly quieter and definitely better for your needs. You should also ensure that the hinges, rollers and track for the door are clean, lubricated with dry lubricant (silicone spray or white lithium, maybe graphite, NOT oil or WD-40 or whatever that will attract gunk) and free of debris, and if you use nylon rollers for the door they are quieter. I get freaked out even looking at the springs so I don't touch them, but a light cleaning and light spray of lubricant can help a bit there too.

Do all of this properly with a belt drive opener and it'll likely be pretty quiet.

If there is STILL an issue with noise above, you can repack the ceiling with rockwool, which would both further reduce noise and improve insulation (and hence comfort of rooms) if required. Wouldn't jump to this right away.
