A link plate and a plate-link chain for a motor vehicle drive system. A large number of link plates are articulatingly connected with each other by rocker members that extend transversely to the longitudinal direction of the plate-link chain. The link plates include teeth that are separated by a recess that allows the teeth to be elastically deflectable relative to each other. At least one tooth of a link plate includes an elongated region a recess positioned between the inner side and the outer side of the tooth so that the amplitude and duration of impact impulses generated when sides of the link plate teeth contact a toothed wheel are changed to improve the chain acoustics during operation of the drive system.
