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

Not sure where everyone is getting their info. I have a relative in Virginia with the metal roof that looks like shingles. He gets same reception with cell as asphalt.
Not loud during a rain storm. Hail may make a difference. Had it for 12 years with no noticeable fading. And I've been in it during hot weather and cold. Doesn't snap crackle or pop. He stripped the old roof off to the wood, put down new felt and then the shingles.
