Gould seems to groan as much as hum, and I find it distracting too--particularly during quiet, reflective passages. Some pianists can pull it off though. In the jazz idiom, I love Thelonius Monk, and I'd actually miss his groaning. His "noise" seems more congruous with his playing and the tonality of his performances. I probably give jazz cats more license.

This year someone gave us front row seats for Showboat so we took the boys. THere was a sweet elderly couple sitting next to us. Not long into the play, they began to hum. Soon they were singing the words along with the actors, then they were doing the duets. I had to change seats with Ammo; he was alternating between snickering and being irritated. I thought it was kinda cute, but only because the tickets were free. If I'd paid 75.00 a seat to hear some old couple wobble through "You Are Love" together-loudly- I might have been more upset. Don't like conductors who grunt either.
