I cannot stand the music, or music in any video of this type. I don't need or want its loaded suggestions. I would love to be able to hear even simulated wind whistling, and sounds from the scenes below.

You're free to mute the video, that's what mute is for.

As for sounds from the scenes below, that's a lot of work. Where do you think people should source that from?

Oh, I know all about mute.

30-ish years ago, DVD players supported alternate soundtracks so people could offer a soundtrack with music and without. I don't think I've ever seen that basic affordance on a web video. That would probably lead to more diegetic sound, and the tools to simulate it.
