Nah, that's pretty easy to defeat too.

IF you're in the room you would probably wake up from the noise before the lock is compromised

Perhaps. But that's not going to matter much if there's just a young child or something inside, or you happen to be a deep sleeper. A practiced individual could probably get it to be a bit quieter (e.g. with a metal hanger to tug it out).

I think the chain is better than the bar though, since the bar can be defeated without noise.
