My feeling is that if it is such a common problem in houses in The Villages, why hasn't anyone found a solution? Or, have they and my builder just doesn't want to deal with it?

I have a couple of ideas for solutions but am not handy and, with back problems, not willing to climb around on the roof.

Thoughts?

Had a problem that sounds similar. Tapping only occured when the wind was blowing in a particular direction. Sounded like it was coming from the ceiling fan but it was not. Proved to be something inside the Soffit outside the bathroom window was loose. A smart handyman and $50 solved the problem.
