I know the public service/emcom people have pushed on this
issue, because a fair number of public service events involve
providing communication support for parades, and parades have
bands, and bands are quite loud and overcome even a noise
canceling microphone. I think there has even been an official
ruling that these incidental sounds, that come along for the
ride with legal communication, won't get you a notice from the FCC.
Now transmitting voice in the CW bands is a different story. For
starts, it's not incidental to legal communication.

This includes background music in the same room as the
microphone (though generally ignored as part of the
environment, in the US; same as telephone 'hold' music in an
autopatch; traffic noise etc.) and certainly includes the
'musical' sounds from most OS (they offer no communication).
