A standing seam metal roof will cost 3x (sometimes/often more) than dimensional asphalt shingles. If it's installed on top of decking like you would a shingle roof then there are obviously no issues with walking between the seams. This drastically reduces any noise (the sound is desirable to some people). 22ga can be installed on lathing, but most builders would prefer decking for good reason.
