Brian in Florida asked:
I have a metal roof with no underlayment, just the bare metal and it is so loud. My question is: if I add 1/2 inch osb under it will it really help with the sound or do i need to add more like the roofing foil which looks like bubble wrap... thank you in advance

This is what our roofing expert, Henry Staggs had to say in response to your question:
Typically, the sound proofing is done with insulation boards and or a specialized underlayment. Unless he wants to take the metal off and start over again. He would need to climb up in the atic and use a sound barrier there. Same as they use in sound studios. Which can get costly as well.
My best advice is to that remove the metal, install an underlayment. Also, I would be concerned about vapor and condensation if there is nothing between the metal and the wood.
