This is not high enough. Spending a few minutes setting voice activation is critical, and can go a long way toward helping with issues people have with voice activation. Background sounds should not trigger voice. Typing should not trigger voice. The issues is many people don't do this, and so make the assumption that voice activation is bad. Couple that with people not being considerate of others (such as not muting when you do need to make noise that will be picked up), it gives voice activation a bad rap. But in terms of pure quality, voice activation is always, in my mind, better than PTT. Granted, the last few years I've only really ever played with friends and in small groups, so when people forget, we aren't righteous assholes about it.

Background sounds should not trigger voice. Typing should not trigger voice. That's right. Voice activity detection (VAD) is not the same as sound detection. WebRTC even has a really good VAD built into it that is extremely easy to use and dynamically adapts to the current audio environment. See e.g. https://github.com/wiseman/py-webrtcvad https://github.com/wiseman/py-webrtcvad and https://github.com/dpirch/libfvad https://github.com/dpirch/libfvad for examples where the relatively small VAD code has been pulled out of the giant webrtc corpus. People also need to know to enable AEC in their audio driver, which completely solves the problem of whatever sounds they're playing leaking into their mic.
