If you include ambient sounds you better make them good and subtle.

It goes without saying that ambient noise should be subtle. There is also a difference between a storm, and a slight breeze. As long as you make sure that there are no glaring pattern that sticks out, and has an adjustable ambiance volume slider. Ambient noise is very hard to do wrong. You almost have to make an effort to fuck up ambiance. In fact the only game where ambient noise has been an irritation for me is just that example you made in Morrowind. I even cut out the ambiance a couple of time while playing, but still, after a little while, I'd put it back in, because the total silence was worse.
