A related question is whether display:none audio and video elements should produce sound.

No. "display: none" is defined to affect all media, and that certainly
should not change for <audio> and <video>.

I think this is different than screen readers not speaking display:none text. Both hiding layout frames and silencing screen readers only affect the 'rendering' of the contained text, it doesn't otherwise deactivate the contained display:none elements:

<style> elements that are display:none still have their stylesheets applied to the document.
<script> elements still execute.
Formcontrols are still submitted.
<iframe>s are still loaded.

I think these examples are much more similar to the <video> element and its produced sound.
