Wall Street (1987) - Greed is Good, but what about that SOUND?

Alright film fans, dkim_films here. Just re-watched "Wall Street" (1987) and, man, that flick STILL hits hard. Michael Douglas as Gordon Gekko is pure evil charisma – that 'Greed, for lack of a better word, is good' speech is iconic. But I always pay special attention to the technical side of things, and the sound design in this movie is really interesting. I'm curious what others think about the use of sound to create tension and atmosphere. Specifically, during some of the big trading floor scenes, the cacophony is almost overwhelming. The constant yelling, the ringing phones... did anyone else think it was a bit much, or did it perfectly capture the frenetic energy of that environment? I was especially distracted during Bud Fox's (Charlie Sheen) first big triumph, that sound mixing felt almost... intentionaly messy? Like they wanted to overwhelm viewers. Also, I noticed they used a lot of diegetic sound cues – like the specific 'ding' of a money printer, or that 'crash' sound associated with bad news, to really hammer home the emotional impact of Bud's decisions. Did anyone else catch any cool sound tricks or effects they appreciated? I know this movie isn't exactly a special effects wonderland, but the sound design definitely adds to that claustrophobic, 'dog eat dog' feeling. Worth a re-listen, IMO. What did you all think?
