Many roofing materials like tile provide sound-dampening qualities. For noisy materials like metal roofing, there are several methods that can reduce decibel levels. • Be sure your contractor specializes in metal roofing: Panels that are installed incorrectly can catch and lift from the wind causing sound and long-term damage.  • Install quality underlayment: Glass fiber or wool blanket underlayments reduce vibrations and noise. • Install attic insulation: Professional spray foam insulation reduces energy costs and dampens sounds coming from your roof.
