We get this question a lot. Admittedly, I actually own an Alumawood cover just outside of my bedroom. honestly, even with hard rain its really not that noisy. Keep in mind my cover is a lattice which is not a solid roof. And, I know the word “noisy” is somewhat subjective depending on your tolerance for rain hitting a metal material. The only thing that I have heard, was that the noise was “soothing”.
