Concrete Sectional Garages - Metal Roof Noise?

Does anyone have experience with Concrete Sectional Garages, in particular those with steel roofs?
I'm looking at the Lidget Compton Apex 20 range, but these all come with what's called a "Metrotile" roof, which is apparently a galvanised steel roof made to look like tiles.
My worry is that this will be really noisy when it's raining. I'm not so worried about the noise inside the building, more whether it is likely to be nuisance to my neighbours in wet weather.
Can anyone comment?

I have a Lidget Compton sectional garage in my garden, albeit with a flat roof of ridged steel sheet rather than an apex roof, and it's not massively noisy - my house is closest and I can't hear it in the rain.. It also doesn't get condensation like some people say such garages do.Proud member of the wokerati, though I don't eat tofu.Home is where my books are.Solar PV 5.2kWp system, SE facing, >1% shading, installed March 2019.Mortgage free July 20230

Could always put some insulation under the sheet roof to dampen the noise.Any language construct that forces such insanity in this case should be abandoned without regrets. –

A metal roof doesn't make a lot of noise externally in the rain, it's just loud inside the garage because it echoes. You've no need to worry.0
