"Always" is a tough criterion to satisfy. In many cases, I react 
similarly, but in others I find that reducing some types of noise 
enhances my appreciation of the program. For example, I almost always 
attenuate subsonic rumble on LPs; at negligible cost in authenticity, 
that enhances clarity and facilitates manual editing.

More to the point, one is not always editing audio for one's own taste. 
Trying to address a market trained on CDs with silent background can 
lead to overprocessing, but pretending that everyone is as tolerant of 
treatable faults as you are can lead to a short career in editing.
