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.

Think it would be more difficult to make a silent version due to the
weight etc of the pull cord. And that it has to be pretty strong.
