Have lived in our log home for 34 years with two different metal roofs on it.
The first roof was put on with screws, and put on over just a vapor barrier, over an open beam ceiling.
After about the first 8 years, we replaced it with snap lock steel.
We had 1/2" plywood put down, a vapor barrier over that, then the roofing installed.
Very little noise. It's gotta rain really hard to hear it at all, and our bedroom is up stairs, so we're sleeping right under the roof.
We live in the woods, so fire danger is top priority here, but we really like our metal roof.
Last year, when two foot of snow started sliding, it did pull part of the gutters loose.
