Hi I'm a joiner and would 100% say this has nothing to do with you. To stip a roof of all tiles and batons is a big job and there will be a lot of hammering and nailing, the rafters are attached to the ceiling timbers so there will be vibrations. I would probably have done the roof works first and then had ceilings painted. Thanks Richard
