First off, correct me if I'm wrong, but my understanding is that in the eyes of the FAA noise abatment procedures are purely voluntary

yah they are voluntary, BUT you CAN still get fined for it! So what woudl you chose? Adhere to the request or get fined?

I don't worry too much about noise abatement. If in my normal ops I can comply, I'll do my best to. If it's unnecessary or out-of-the-way a$$ pain, then I'll still do my somewhat-best to comply. If it's REALLY out of the way, and ATC queries me, I'll waive it.
BL is, regardless of the noise abatement procedure, it's never good enough. Reference Scottsdale Airport.
