I've long generally preferred my silent films silent - sound off.
I know they were originally usually shown in theaters with musical accompaniment - the studios usually sent sheet music/scores to go with the films. The films have rhythms and moods. If there's music, it should sync with that, not conflict or distract. I encountered too many dubbed soundtracks that do the latter.

I've just edited together another soundtrack from modern creative commons tracks for an old silent film, this time for a cult surreal short. You can watch it on PeerTube at:
The Fall of the House of Usher (1928)

You can also check out my previous modern soundtrack edits for silent films:
Wings (1927)

The Phantom of the Opera (1925)
https://fedi.video/w/xAuNMvv5h2qVqtLn5b38Vj
My personal favourite of these is "Wings", especially once you get to the main part of the story.
