Most of the women I've known make noises when they are making love. I tend not to, and some have commented on that.

I don't think the tendency to make noise comes exactly from insecurity. Rather, I think it comes from announcing a claim on a person to others nearby, since most sex in human history occurred within earshot of the other tribe members.
