We put a metal roof on the coop, and then HEARD the rain!!!

[nuthatched]

I had the same thought on mine- it was so loud. So I attached 3 - 20$ yoga mats to the top and it seems to work really well at making it less noisy. I love my chickens so much I know that seems silly but if they don’t sleep good I notice lower egg production. I’m in the North East Ny - I think they like it better.

You could probably get that stuff they spray in truck beds sprayed on the roof to deaden the noise. But it would be $$ and not sure you want black if you are in a hot climate and the rood gets sun. . But it would be a durable finish for sure.
