Coaster Hipster

Streaming down the comment section on Youtube coaster POVs, I occasionally see people complaining about "obnoxious screaming or comments" or wishing that they could hear the "natural sound" of the ride. What do you think of it ?
I can really see both ways for that matter. I really appreciate hearing the natural sound of a coaster, like the noise a LIM launch makes or the infamous "fart" of the Intamin prefab's airtime hills. I also dislike screams and reactions in videos that seem too theatrical and exaggerated. However, I enjoy hearing people's genuine reactions to the different elements of the ride as well, especially with a standout element like a big airtime hill or swift direction change. Some screaming, as long as it isn't too loud, feel part of the roller coaster experience imo, while a video with no human sound can feel too... robotic.
One thing for sure I do not like 99% of the time is having a music convering the coaster/rider sound instead!
