Mark, admittedly,there is a nostalgic charm to the  loud sound of hollow tubular  track on metal ties but as time rolls on my tastes have scaled out.  I prefer weathered shades to colors and distinctive  background whispers to dominating room filling  sounds.  

With this Ross - GG effort, I really wanted to add eye level three rail to my two rail pike but when I did a test run the  clickety-clack  was disappointingly overpowering.  The standard rail ends  are like a loud boisterous neighbor with my childhood non sound trains being the biggest villain.  Once completing the aforementioned tune up and adding PS-2 to everything it is now a welcome addition.

The work only sounds more tedious then it really is. 

It was time well spent to make it more satisfactory for you!    Perhaps, I will get tired of the clickety clack, and will be filing down my track pins too.  Now my only concern is seasonal expansion on the layout.  Some folks have trouble with it, and others do not!
