That's pretty amazing.. why wouldnt he set up his own sound to eliminate more of that signal generator fan noise though. So distracting.

I did, but I didn't want to wear a lapel mic for the video and deal with the extra hassle. It was just me (no helpers) and a couple cameras. Wired mics suspended overhead kept sound setup from adding to the logistics for each take.

The sound was done similarly to the previous video, which hadn't drawn comments. This time though, a sizable fraction of people said it was distracting.

And yet you insist on being the authority for what's permissible? I think you should stop publicly clamoring for limitations to audio resolution on the grounds that you're not representative of enough listeners. I don't mind one bit that you don't hear these things, or that you represent even a majority of people who don't hear these things… but they don't represent the market for commercial audio. You're doing harm, please stop.
