Many musicians make noises. Rudolf Serkin was also notorious, but the recording engineers managed to muffle his noises somehow. The noises are distracting and can be so much as to detract from the listening experience.Gould was such an interesting figure...people love him or hate him. I don't care for his pianism at all, much preferring Gilels, Pletnev, Uchida, Hewitt.
There are better recordings of the Well-Tempered Clavier than Gould's; in fact, I think his is among the worst!
As alternatives, check out the piano version by Angela Hewitt (can't recall the label at the moment) or the harpsicord recording by Kenneth Gilbert on Archiv (1984).
