The quiet could be dirty heads or caps or the tape it's self. Warbly is what it is as long as the video is tracking right...Linear audio on VHS especially at the EP (aka SLP) speed usually has a surprising (read appalling) amount of wow and flutter (and landline grade frequency response and fidelity) especially if recorded on a different machine.
If you have tapes recorded with HiFi don't waste your time with a linear player unless you're using a TV with really poor sound. Good HiFi decks are still $10 thrift store finds around here.
