Is A Metal Roof Noisy During The Rain?
Katelyn Lewis • March 25, 2026
SHORT ANSWER: NOT REALLY.
Modern metal roofing systems include solid decking and underlayment that greatly reduce noise. Many homeowners find them no louder than asphalt shingles. And some (including this company's owners) find the sound to be soothing, like white noise.
Metal roofs, though more expensive upfront than architectural shingles, are more ecologically responsible as they contain recycled metals, have a long lifespan, and can be completely recycled when it’s eventually time to replace them.
