I've found that this application can be very noisy and is most certainly not for the novice.

Absolutely!

I haven't tried it on the lower sensitivity (mines on custom and I think that was the default) Light Security Set or the Default Security Set, which I find strange as I don't believe mine was on that by default.

Custom is a copy of Default, plus any changes made to it through the UI.  Default is almost the same as Medium.  A diff shows it monitors only two less keys.  I haven't tried it on Light either.  I like the noisiness, but I run it in Alert Mode, which automatically Accepts any changes without wating for my approval.  I use MJRW as a monitor, and WinPatrol for asking my permission.
When I finally get tired of seeing a key in MJRW's report, I use the UI to comment it out.  I've done that only once so far.

but some of the alerts have taxed my thinking of what is actually going on and if it should be allowed. I have set-up some exceptions, but that too requires a degree of registry and application knowledge.

MJRW has been educational for me too.  I automatically accept any changes it reports.  They've all been made by legitimate software.  The same with WinPatrol.  When I decide I want to disable a startup program or Automatic service that has been added by a software installation, I edit them with Autoruns or Window's Services Administration Tool.  I've added only one exception so far to MJRW.

If I'm ever hit by a malware attack -- knock on wood -- I expect WinPatrol and MJRW to scream bloody murder.

Edit: And avast! too, of course.

Me I'm of the opinion of, why buy a dog for defence but stop it from barking kind of guy, so I have it on Prompt Mode, which at times gets noisy.

I personally will stay with WinPatrol and pass this one by.  Thanks anyway Alan.

[Alan Baxter]

You're welcome, Bob.  I tried WinPatrol because it was recommended here.  It seems to be a keeper.  Thank you all for sharing your experience with it.

Mine barks, but it doesn't bite.
