I don't believe anyone here doubts that or is against a sincere worshiper making noise.
I view praise and worship in the same way I do someone who feels to praise in the dance. Those that do not choose to dance should not be made to feel less spiritual, because there are other methods of praise that are just as effective.
In one particular service, a person got out of their pew and ran around the church. The preacher said, "There is your TRUE worshiper!!!", as though no one else in the room qualified.
There is no doubt the exuberant person running the aisles was sincere in his worship, however, the "many" other people with hands raised and tears streaming down their faces were also sincere. A person's response is going to vary according to his personality. I heard a pastor, once say, "If you can't raise your voice, you need to change your personality."
It is a shame to qualify a person's relationship with God on the volume of their voice - is the point.
