Craig,

It's good to see how much cooler your new roof is and how well it fits with the house and neighborhood.

FWIW, We have a 'galvalume' metal roof which fits well with our house and in our neighborhood (no HOA either). We don't notice much rain noise at all, though that may be due to the R-50 of cellulose insulation in the attic.
