996 tire pressures - reality?

Hi
New owner of a 996 here.
I see the published tire pressures as recommended by porsche ate well into the 40+ psi range.

Previous owner had car maintained by a reputable shop in the LA area, and I see the pressures are set (as received) in the 36 front / 40 rear range.

Can anyone give insight into current or conventional wisdom about pressures in this vintage car?

Stock 18" tires on a C4S here.

I have heard that there is more "tire noise" in the 996, but would like to understand the factors before I start messing with anything.

Thanks, and hope to not be opening a can of worms here.
