Wrong and wrong
No, you're way wrong.
People have long been interested in listening to sounds as additional clues to the past beyond pictures. A great example of this is the learned accent once used throughout the US. This was a trained speaking style first employed by actors/actresses, radio announcers, and other public speakers that has been well researched. Aside from the obvious, others picked up on it as well, even if not trained, like barking salesman, college educated people (far fewer went to college before the GI Bill and the baby boom). This speaking style began passing out of favor and was no longer taught by studios or picked up by young people somewhere around the early 50's. Recording from earlier times will show better off common people of varying degrees speaking in this style. It later disappeared entirely.
On a related note, the sound of a typewriter and a duplicator would take any Gen Xer back to their school office.

Not a bad idea but even they let some modern inflection slip in.

I’ve got some old 78’s with sounds of trains, ships, and the like.

You can go on-line and find mp3 recordings of old radio programs dating back to days before television.
There is one recording from a radio station broadcasting in 1939. If I remember correctly, it's 24 hours long -- one whole broadcast day back in 1939 of this radio station.
The first show is the Arthur Godfrey show.
You might still be able to find it. I can't think of anything else that might be "sound immersion", other than old time radio shows.

Sweet. Flipped some candy with the wifey and partied all night.
