Back in the day, sold a lot of steel for roofs - homes, garages, barns, etc. Yes, it was long sheets, but the principal and commonality with what “looks like shingles” is the same:

1. The color will fade - especially in the intense sun we have

2. It is noisey - the expansion/contraction rate in our FL heat will have it snap, crackle and pop constantly

3. Loud during a rain storm

4. Will “sing” during wind depending on angle, slope, how the cap is installed and type of fasteners used
