Peter,
I too am not a sound unit junkie. It will never be my intention to have sound units in every loco. I have a LOT of them. Some is because of the cost involved. If you are stuck on the Tsunami like I am you can use the Auto-mute feature. (Do other brand decoders have Auto-Mute?) On layout startup you program in second the amount of time the loco makes noise until it automatically mutes unless you make an action with it. Brilliant move if you asked me. I have a long way to go but expect to have sound units in ¼ to maybe ½ of my locos when I am done. In the somewhat limited time my current layout has been up I frequently turn off the sound units and listen to music when running the trains. You need to have some sound unit equipped locos especially for entertaining guests and possible layout open houses.
