Do you like noise?

Just wondering, do you prefer jigs with rattles or without? Alot of the pros seem to feel rattles aren't necesary if not counter productive. The logic, to my best understanding, is that nothing a jig is meant to imitate makes noise. Hence no rattle. Now an exception is murky water, noise makes locating jig easier.
So, do you use rattles? If yes, when, where and why?
If no, why?
It seems a few members make jigs themselves so I would think those of you with such a great talent would definitely have a preference or at least a fair understanding of the whys and why nots.
I'm really curious about this. My thoughts, most the jigs I fish are rattleless. I have some with rattles but I'm really a casting jig kind of guy so no rattles seem to have less air resistance other than that I guess I really don't care. Oh, most of my jig+rattle are heavier.
So what you you think?
