    When you are out side a heavy rain will sound louder. Lack of insulation and or improper insulation will/can make it louder inside a home. Older homes tend to be louder even isulated (origonal insul) mainly because older/old insulation may not have any sound deadening. 1" blue foam insul on a roof deck (z-bared for new roof fastening) will take care of inside sounds. out side sound will always be quieter with an ashphalt shingle, they are dence compared to metal and yes definatly more traditional.

    That's the way I want to do it Ted. CE doesn't know how cold it gets and that the recommended insulation is R50. Roxul is 5.5" thick for R23. That's 11" of inside insulation, 5/8" ply counts for R1.4, and the Dow blue sheet at 1" is R6 for a total of R51.4. Won't hear didly squat inside. Right now, we've got 2 layers of asphalt shingles and one of old cedar shakes that have to come off, then the new T&G 5/8 ply and all the rest.

    Hail storms might be interesting though. But they're usually only Pea-Size, not the golf balls they get in Alberta at the end of July.

    I remember living in Southern Ontario, when they reported your snow and cold. Brrrr!

    Now that I live here, I get kinda melancoly about your cold vs. ours!:rofl2:

    Did you have the roof redone?
    Interesting read, I'm not familiar with the 'Standing seam' do you have pics of the 2 types? (I tried the links but they did not work).
    What is the desired Rvalue there for ceiling insulation?
    The steel roof system used down here easily tolerates small hailstones, when you get large hail say as the size of a cricket ball (Baseball:Dsize) it may dent the ridges but still be structurally sound.
