typical gear noise, particularyl in an uninsulated setting like a garage door.

To give you another choice, but "rattle" is just as good.
PONS/COLLINS:
rattern: vi(als Bewegungsverb:aux sein) to rattle, to clatter; (Maschinengewehr)to chatter.
good luck, Britta B.

Having seen a couple of of these Garagentor questions Im just going to assume that the whole text is about the testing or proving of these systems and that what this sentence is describing is not the sound of the drive but a failure in which the (toothed) drive wheel is overdriven and "jumps" without actually moving the belt. It could also indicate that the guage of the gearwheel is different to that of the belt causing the jumps. In the technical context of the other questions I doubt they are really talking about noise. If I wanted to decribe the nois I would put it the other way round: "Zahnriemen rattert auf Antriebsritzel"
