Noise from roof sheathing.
There are a few.
Roof sheathing comes in grid marked 4 by 8 foot sheets and should be installed perpendicular to the frame.
If your roof is installed without a proper roof underlayment you will experience the kind of noise that causes people to think buying a metal roof is a bad idea.
Sheathing should be a minimum of 19 32 inch thick.
This is a step that must be taken during the installation process.
Never attach roof sheathing with staples.
The trusses and beams of the roof give the roof its initial pitch and structure and then the sheathing is applied so the actual underlayment and roof covering can be applied.
An engineered wood product fire rated osb sheathing such as lp flameblock sheathing eliminates a layer of gypsum by combining an ignition resistant cementitious coating with a layer of osb.
This roof framing looks normal but it makes noise when the wind blows.
The typical thickness range for sheathing is 3 8 to 3 4 inch.
8d ring shank nails should be used instead.
