How to quiet garage door more?

I live in a condo with my garage right below my bedroom. When I bought it, the old Genie screwdrive opener made a lot of noise and I could feel the vibration through the floor above. Also, it squeeked a lot as if it hadn't been lubricated in a long time.

I have since replaced the opened with a Craftsman belt drive,replaced the rollers with nylon 13 ball bearing rollers, installed the Genie G89LM Vibration Isolation Kit and lubricated it well.

All these things have helped and it is much quieter now. But I can still hear it a bit. The two things i can hear is the motor or belt squeeking a bit when it turns. And also the door panels kind of banging around when the door either first starts to open or is almost completely closed. Any idea if either of these can be quieted down some more?

This is a 22-year-old 8' aluminum door.

Thanks!!!
