I've never really tried to tell or hear a difference. Noise increases as the resistance value increases, but I'm not one to say it is audible or not when playing music. Some masking probably occurs, etc.
When restoring gear which is one after another for me, I change out resistors (usually "flame-proof" metal oxide) that run hot and are against the circuit board. I've seen quite a few burns from them on both phenolic and glass epoxy in amps and preamps. Sometimes the conductor pad/track is lifted too.
It's inexpensive so why not.
