Couldn't agree more check airman... Just heard several people doing it that way over the years and back in the day when the 'old 732 APU could only drive one pack we used to select the left for just that reason - which was stated in the manual of the time...

In my company left pack off for taxi out, right pack off for taxi in. On a personal account i tend to leave right pack off for the whole duration of the turnaround to comfort the loading staff. Both packs off for the pilot monitoring of the upcoming flight to be able to do his/hers walkaround with as little hearing loss as possible. Just my 2 cents...
Switching one pack off makes the other one spin just as noisy as two. Hardly any gain.
We used to do that, plus packs off take off, till we got many problems with the packs.
Now we leave them on all the time, no issues any more.
