Irrelevant as (according to canon), the Morannon are magical gates, under Sauron's personal control.

Reasonable, but this doesn't explain why, in wide shots with the POV outside any of the ship, we still hear the weapons (we also hear their impact on targets).

You're telling me the only Hollywood siege gate that follows physics is the one that specifically defies physics because it's magic?
Fuckin' Hollywood...
Verbatim from the mouth of Jesus (retranslated from a retranslation of a copy of a copy):
"Do not judge, or you too will be judged. For in the same way you judge others, you too will be judged, and with the measure you use, it will be measured to you. How can you see your brother's head up his ass when your own vision is darkened by your head being even further up your ass? How can you say to your brother, 'Get your head out of your ass,' when all the time your head is up your own ass? You hypocrite! First take your head out of your own ass, and then you will see clearly who has his head up his ass and who doesn't." Matthew 7:1-5 (also Luke 6: 41-42)
