strung together this:

What I don't understand is: In decades long past, ceiling switches all
worked with a discreet click. We have an old switch in one of the
bedrooms and no-one would complain about it being noisy. But all modern
switches have a loud twang. Why the change?

They've not changed, in the olden days some were noisy, some weren't,
just like todays range of switches.
