Turbine vents typically move a lot of air. However, if you add several of the other types you can move as much air and also get more consistent air exchange throughout your attic.

Hi! We live in a 100 yr old farmhouse with the original standing seam hip roof. My concern is the rumbling sound we hear from the roof, mainly when there is a north wind.
Is this common? Does it indicate a serious problem?
I assume it is wind getting between the decking and the tin somehow. The soffits are newer, perforated ones, and there is a turbine ventilator near the peak. We have lived here 11 years and have had some major wind, and the roof is still there - but it is worrying on occasions, when it's booming away like a big drum! Any recommendations?

I was considering replacing the turbine ventilator with a louvered type; do you think this would help?
I never liked the turbine one, it is loud in winter and it looks strange. Do louvered types allow more air movement?
Thanks!
