A serious question:

Some advocate a "pluck" method for tensioning the bandsaw blade. It's
supposed to play a clear musical note (an F, if I recall.)

I just heard it should sound like a note, not a dull thud. But it seems
to me that that is a minimal condition. The blade needs to be "at least"
that tight, but it may need to be tighter. Cut and test.
