I have had 4 parakeets throughout my life, I still have the cages too. They are interesting to have and I regret it seems mine just didn't live long, it was a bummer for sure.
Either way the sound can become troublesome, chiefly at night. We learned to just get a light towel and cover the cage so they were comfortable and slept, it was nice. I did enjoy interacting with them throughout the day though, whistling back and forth.
