The balance shaft in the Lifan is gear driven with straight cut gears so it does make a little noise. Some of the clones use helical cut gears which are a bit quieter. Also the balance shaft engines I've seen use a chain drive oil pump where the standard engines drive it with a gear, usually plastic.
