Well, I just read that and thought of "Cables" (sort of the dawn of
industrial music), where there's this truly awful ringing sound
(cables ringing against each other / factory noise), and a
growling/churning guitar sound, and some freak in the background
screaming "LOUDER... LOUDER!!"

Yeah, I think Steve Albini espouses that philosphy.  Strongly.  ;-)
