Our kids were so sensitive to noise that I would finally get them to sleep, and a little creak from me trying to escape the nursery would reset the whole process. It drove me mad.

Interesting. My sister is crazy about keeping everything super quiet when the kid is sleeping, and I see it as a major pain, because especially if you have other kids, it's virtually impossible. It's also annoying to tip toe around the house every time the kid is sleeping.
We took the opposite approach and made sure the kid could sleep through any noise. We most definitely don't make sure we're quiet when the kid is sleeping, and they seem to get used to it pretty quick. I can't imagine forcing the other kids to stay super quiet when the baby's sleeping. Seems impossible to me.
