Are Wakefield roofs noisy when it rains?

No, Wakefield metal roofs are generally not noisier than other types of roofing during rainfall. Contrary to a common misconception, modern metal roofing systems are installed with several layers of materials, including roof decking, insulation, and sometimes protective underlayment, which helps reduce the sound of rain or hail.

In most residential homes, the sound level from a metal roof is comparable to that of an asphalt shingle roof. Attic insulation and the building structure play a major role in reducing noise. When a Wakefield roof is properly installed, indoor acoustic comfort remains very good even during heavy rain.
