Are permanent roofs noisy?
Concern about noise of metal roofs has kept otherwise eager consumers away from the product. While it is true that metal can resonate unlike tile or wood, studies confirm that a properly installed metal roof yields no significant increase in noise compared to other roofing alternatives. Attic insulation and double-pane windows — combined with the fact that many metal roofs are mounted flush on a solid decking — all contribute to acceptable noise performance of metal roofing. In addition, the embossed textures of new metal roofs help to disperse rain, reducing noise even further.
