A silent chain include a number of link modules articulately connected together in an endless fashion by rocker joint pins. The rocker joint pins include a first rocker joint pin composed of a first longer pin and a first shorter pin each having a different first thickness in a direction of pitch of the rocker joint pins, and a second rocker joint composed of a second longer pin and a second shorter pin each having a different second thickness in the direction of pitch of the rocker joint pins. The second thickness of the second longer or shorter pin is different from the first thickness of a corresponding one of the first longer and shorter pins. The first joint rocker pin and the second rocker joint pin are arranged in a random pattern along the length of the silent chain so as to suppress generation of periodic noise when teeth of the silent chain and teeth of a sprocket engage with each other.
