I don't recall ever hearing the distinct noise of a cam chain, and didn't even know that was a reason that belts were used instead.

I'm sure most people would prefer to have the most quiet ride they can get, but I'm among those that have removed the turbo silencer ring so that I can hear the music of the compressor spool. I guess that's a more satisfying sound than chain and gear noise.
