When do I hear tapping on my roof?
It is only when the wind is 30 mph ish or greater and it`s as if someone is sitting on my roof occasionally tapping with a small hammer. Someone somewhere must have had this same issue or know of someone. Update.
What’s the highest wind speed a roof can withstand?
Craftsmanship is also important. Some metal roofing can withstand wind speeds of more than 150 mph. So what wind speeds do you need to be worried about? According to the National Weather Service, slight damage can begin when winds reach 45 mph, but this range is considered “non-severe”.
What kind of noise does roof make in wind?
We’ve had a couple of nights of high winds, and when gusting, we get terrible banging and thudding noises coming from our bedroom ceiling, from several different places. I’ve been in the loft and the noise is almost non existent, the noise all comes down stairs. It’s loud enough to keep you awake.
How can I reduce wind noise on my roof?
Very much so mate, yeah. Stick 100mm between your ceiling joists and cross layer 200mm over the top, your heat loss will reduce dramatically and there should be noticeable sound reduction. Any photos of the outside of your house, may be able to see something further?

Where is the best place for roof noise reduction?
Where roof-transmitted sound reduction is most sought is in buildings located close to high noise areas such as under the flight path to airports. Our photo of metal roofed homes (left) shows two older houses in Key West, Florida.
