When I'm reading, I really do not want any noise going on. Sometimes even a loud bird call outside can throw me off when I'm really into a book.
I hope we at least have the option of disabling these if they ever do come out.

Pretty much this. I loathe it enough when I go to a local news website, for example, and an audio ad plays. Weird sounds while I'm reading would startle me. Of course, a few judicious sound effects, background music would be fine in an audiobook.
