It was somewhat soothing when it was a steady light rain but a bit alarming in heavy torrential rain! I may have been more sensitive to it though since any precipitation meant checking for leaks
That’s not my experience my roof. I cannot hear the rain at all even in a torrential rain. Maybe different types of installation or the installer

As far as leaks when snow melts, I have none but metal roofs require a good amount of snow and ice shield
