Radio operated traffic_signals:sound

In my area, all button operated traffic signals can sound, the knock to find them, the howl to find the other side of the road. Most only do so, when a person with a special radio dongle requests that. There is a bit of talk here - Talk:Key:traffic signals:sound - OpenStreetMap Wiki

I observe a number of users tagging traffic_signals:sound=no on them. Today I asked why, as I know they can. Been told: 1) Such is against reproducibility for somebody not having the device, 2) It is only a small community that has the device.

My thoughts on: 1) Survey result will differ by chance, depending who is close there at the time. 2) The small community is actually why this gets mapped, so why disregard them?

Any suggestions how to update the documentation? Are there actual users of this information here?
