I don't see why anyone has a problem with people grunting at a gym.
If you're yelling because it hurts you each time you do a rep, then you deserve to get called on it. Or if you yell while at the threadmill.
But grunting is often beneficial to your work out, and it doesn't need to be loud, it just helps give that last push to finish a rep of whatever you're doing.
Now, to enforce a rule just because people who are relatively unfit feel uncomfortable and self-conscious in front of people who make it their hobby to build their body, and thus perform more straining exercises to continue and build strength, is ridiculous.
At some point, you reach a plateau where just lifting what you can lift easily is useless, if you want to move forward you need more weight. The grunting type exercise is necessary, but it's easy to tell when one does it for show.
