IIRC, the cost for the bottom end metal is about the same as composite. The fancier stuff costs more. No, they are no noisier than the old roof - it is metal laid on felt that is on wood - no room to tinpan. If you agree to forgo cosmetic damage claims, you get a sizable reduction in insurance costs here in the hail belt.
You can get all kinds of designer metal roofs that don't have the industrial look, but you'll pay for them. We went with a simple, industrial looking roof, but it works great, and fits in here at the airpark.
