It seems to me that older switches aren't as loud - this might be because
they're worn but some seem to have a softer touch, more sprung and
less snappy.
Of course you can try and operate a 'snappy' switch in a quiet manner by
pressing on it, but that's probably not much good for the switch.
Any ranges that are worth looking at?
Thanks

I find it is the pull-cord bathroom light switches that are the most annoying by far.
Which is why in our recent refurbishment we put ordinary light switches on the wall outside of bathrooms.
