MacBook Pro 14 M2 Trackpad Sound?

Compared to the previous 14" M1 MBPs, the new 14" M2 MBP seems to have a louder/hollower/clickier trackpad. This is probably the most minor gripe I've had, but I'm curious if this is the norm? Note: I disabled force-clicks and have the click strength set to medium.

Video for reference (though the sound is probably a little exaggerated)...

One one hand Apple's trackpad is the best in the industry, on the other, I'm not really liking the force touch mechanism. I have have the force-clicks disabled. They just don't feel right to me.

Not just you... I switched from the 14" M1, and yeah, I am not digging this noise. It's not especially loud, but it's just enough of a high-pitched frequency that it easily cuts through ambient room sounds, and it's annoying as hell.

is it possible to disable it? I think you can't.

OP, do you have silent clicking enabled? My 16" M2 is very quiet compared to my old 2016 MBP. That trackpad could be heard from space!

Silent clicking was sadly removed quite a few OS revisions ago

Hmmm. I see that as an option in the latest update.

On what machine? It may well be more that it was removed for some hardware, my m2 does not have this option either.

Does it work? I can activate it but it doesn't change anything.
