Roof Vent Rain Noise

The problem is when it rains the sound transmits through the ducting down to the range hood.

Roof vent rain noise.

The patter or even the roar of falling rain or hail popping and cracking noises perhaps due to thermal expansion and contraction of roof coverings metal roofing or roof structure and transmitted noises from other external sources such as low flying aircraft or nearby trains or auto truck traffic from a nearby highway. The rain water then trickles through the lattice then drips on to the original roof surface and away in to the rain water drainage system. We recently installed an island range hood with rigid ducting venting through roof. This is very loud and sounds like rain on a tin roof right above my head.

The vent hood ducts through a rigid or flexible pipe to a cap on the roof or side of your home. If the noise drives you crazy new spring loaded backdraft dampers 9 to 30 depending on the size should solve the problem. The material is black in colour and is uv stabilised. Climb onto the roof and locate the vent that is causing the noise.

Cut through any sealer that may be present. Silent roof will stop the great majority of rain noise on any composite roofing structure to a mere whisper. Roof noises may be described as those attributed to an obvious source. Rain noise from roof vent cap.
