This is a newer gas range with a piezoelectric
starter.

I have never seen a home gas range which used a
"piezoelectric starter" (like used on BBQs). Maybe
RV models might be so equiped, I don't know.

Sorry, I didn't know what else to call the thing that clicks
while starting the stove. It sounds just like the piezo on
my gas grill.

There's usually an electronic 'spark module' inside a gas range which just
modifies house power to generate a high enough current to spark between the
spark electrode at the burner and the ground of the stove. Piezoelectric
devices generate their own current to produce the spark. The spark each
makes are basically the same, making the same amount of sound when they
occur.

JFYI
