This is just my view, but -
As a player, I'd much rather have no sound than overdone obnoxious sounds that many courses out there are somewhat ruined by. I know you can turn off ambient sounds or turn them down but I dont like having to do that for individual courses - often I forget to turn it on/up afterwards and then get annoyed a few rounds later when I realize I've been missing out on the sounds on the other courses that do have them set at good levels, so in the end I gravitate towards not playing the overdone-sound courses much.
Finding that sweetspot of perfect volume levels (and frequency of the sounds being played too, for that matter) can be very tricky (especially since I have had experiences with the APCD volume settings not seeming to work! (viewtopic.php?p=1042#p1042 for another apparent APCD volume bug), so even if sounds sometimes can add a really nice ambience to a course, Im personally very fine with the safer option of there being none at all.
