Several years ago I was in an un insulated metal building during a hail 
storm.  It was noisy beyond belief but remember it was a shop with no 
insulation and almost everything inside was a hard surface.

As a kid I helped build Quonset huts with my uncle  These were metal roofed 
with wood frames, mostly used for machinery storage.  I had a chance to see 
several of them this last summer and a couple were sway backed.  I suspect 
condensation has caused rot.
