I also have a metal roof.
Satisfied.

The roof is noisy in the rain, but we are installed directly onto the plywood sheathing with no insulation in our camp. We actually enjoy the sound when it rains. Rain/Snow come directly off and in our case pine needles as well which is one of the reasons we got one. Metal roofs (when installed correctly) prevent the build up of moss and pine needles. Provided the proper amount of insulation you probably will never hear the rain.

We installed our roof ourselves, so it was very cost effective and comparable to installing asphalt shingles. We used Everlast roofing which comes in 20 or so different colors and three different styles. They are a relatively local company as they have offices in Bridgton, Maine. It is actually not that hard to install yourself (unless you live on an island like we do).

The roof has a 35 year warranty and is easily recyclable at the end of its life, unlike asphalt shingles. It also requires much less prep time to install than asphalt and weighs on your roof less. Very sturdy.

Hope this helps.
