Hi ahendler.
You were 100% when you said, a super-tweeter adds no musical material to the music info ---that you can hear! This is something most audiophiles attempt to prove to themselves by listening to the super-tweeter itself. However doing this isn't sufficient enough to come to the conclusion that "the added ambience that's heard when using a super-tweeter is probably noise." I know what I'm talking about because I previously added a pair of Fostex T900a to act as "super-tweeters to my Dayton PS220-8 single, full-range drivers.
The T900a super-tweeters were crossed in using a 6dB crossover @ 10 kHz and covered the frequencies of 10 kHz to 38 kHz. I believe that despite the fact that I don't hear above 15 kHz, adding super-tweeters must create some psycho-acoustic effects that the brain perceives on a subconscious level. I say this because I heard the same sonic improvements to my system that you can read about super-tweeters from most anyone else who's super-tweeters.
Almost all audiophiles who've used them will say something basically like what John Potis said in his MuRata super-tweeter (TG1954: the MuRatas are true super-tweeters covering from 15kHz to 100kHz) review for 6moons: ---there's an increase in vibrancy and detail that they bring to the treble as you would expect. But that's only the beginning of their story. Cleaner, more sharply defined and more articulate bass is what will amaze you and an easily perceived bump in midrange articulation may just astound you. And add to that greatly improved transient snap, microdynamics and drive.
So no, my friend it's not just noise that added by super-tweeters. They definitely add to the enjoyment of listening to your music and in a very noticeable way...
