Thank you, but I'm not forgetting that aspect. What you are talking about is the structure-borne part of the sound, and I agree, under some circumstances it could be larger than the air-borne component. There, the best approach is to isolate the microphones and attach them to resilient mounts ... No one said this was going to be easy.
I recall many years ago, when the first webcams came out, they did not have built-in microphones in them. I mentioned that to a younger colleague of mine few weeks back, and his reply was: So, how did you guys communicate back then, you used sign language? I felt the need to slap the SOB, so ignorant he was. All of this, to say: Yes, you are absolutely correct that recording (and also playback) sound is not the easiest of feats ... but somehow we're easily 'impressed' by a good picture than we are by good sound.
