Well first of all, I know way more people who don't use voice chat that people who do. It tends to be people with more "end game" orientation who use vent etc.
I pop on vent if we're doing something really hard/important/for the first time but most of the times I prefer to keep my conversation in the chatlog.

2ndly, I find <call> quite useful but like many have said, not the insanely loud ring or fog horn that will give you a permanent afro.
In FFXI things like skill chains and Magic bursts were informed by <calls> and it was also really useful when someone was pulling (as someone else mentioned before).
How about when you have to kill two ants in different room at the same time? Wouldn't it be handy to have a <call> for the kill?
Just an example.

If the sound was adjustable I think it would be very welcome feature in any kind of situation.
