And was noisy as hell in a storm. But, I would think in a rehab, applied
over an existing roof, you wouldn't notice.
I had quite a different kind of metal roof installed 25 years ago,
Corona Shake pressed metal tiles.

I chose it in part because it is so light that it could be installed
over the existing two layers of asphalt shingle, even on my very light
roof structure. But when the contractor applied for a permit, it was
turned down. In the wake of the previous year's disastrous nearby
fire, I was in a zone only allowing fireproof roof construction. The
tiles were OK, but not the asphalt shingle under them.
So some animals with a truck and big shovels came and made a mess
tearing the old roofs off. Then the whole roofing job was done by one
nice, competent guy. I think I did good, as it's been 24.5 years and
the roof appears as sound as when it was installed.
My concern with the change, which I think cost the contractor his
profit, was noise. But with the heavy tar paper and the blown in
cellulose insulation between rafters, we really don't hear most rain
on the roof, only heavy downpours, and they are more muffled roar than
rain sounds.
