Did you even read the article in that link? The AMA believes no such thing, quite the opposite.

Saying that "thousands believe" does not make for a strong argument regardless. Thousands of people believe all kinds of things we collectively know aren't true (flat earth, didn't land on the moon, take your pick). I just lump loud pipers right in there with the flat earthers and anti-vaxers: people that believe what they want to believe regardless of the facts. You want to make a bunch of noise with your toy? Have at it, but don't try to pass it off as a safety feature.
