When we bought our farm here in Kentucky we put a metal roof on the house to replace asphalt shingles. It is noisier but it is a good noise. Wind is also something we hear a lot. If it comes from the NNW it makes a moaning sad noise that reminds me of old westerns. We don't hear dirt being thrown on the roof but the turkeys make a racket when they decide to use the roof as a lookout. I look forward to more of your wonderful videos. Thank you.

We have a house and hear the rain on it. At least when it is heavy rain and or hail, it is not as noisy as it would be with a vinyl roof. And when a lightning bolt hits nearby, it is super loud and rattles the windows too. And all we have right now is a typical asphalt shingle roof. Looking to replace it with a metal roof so we can have cleaner water off of it. That means it will get a lot noisier. But, I am also toying with the idea of getting a shingle splitter and making wooden shingles and going that way instead. And that would make it quieter.
