What makes more noise when it rains: skylights with or without blinds?

We are due to start building our house at the end of October / beginning of November.

We are getting some Roto R8 roof windows, which according to the Roto homepage have the following specifications: "triple safety and thermal insulation insulating glazing with anti-dew coating and sound insulation (SSK 3)".

If we take shutters, then I would like to have them installed right away, so that the electrical connection can be made right away reasonably by switch. Alternatively, I would take a blackout rolo plus a sun screen outside.

Do you have experience of what a shutter on a skylight in noise brings or are the plastic slats even louder than when the rain directly hits the window?
