[I have no clue how sound is implemented now, so my comments may be
somewhat ignorant.]

This indicates that sound activations should definitely be part of the
arches.  That way a map maker can turn off sounds for machinery that the
player isn't supposed to know about, such as grates that roll boulders to
generate random actions depending on which button they land on.

Volume could be a factor of distance.

Of course, as you point out, this gives the player more information, so it
is something map designers need to think about carefully.
