For what it's worth they won't probably ascend much faster than 400-500 ft/min because they fly gently for tourists.
I don't think many people are as bothered by the noise others somehow find unbearable. I spend my time all around Puna and the only time I've noticed helicopters is when they're county copters flying low looking for pot growers. I don't get the 50 a day, or feels like a war zone.
