Turning off the fake sound for trackpad click?

It's not a speaker sound. It's a mechanical sound. You're hearing the magnets under the pad work.
I see, it sounds really 'real'! Haha. O well, I'm sure I'll get used to it or revert back to just using tap to click like I did before. Thank you very much.
You can't disable it, but you can decrease the sound of it significantly by going to System Prefs -> Trackpad -> slide the "Click" slider to "Light" (see screenshot attachment below)

Actually, you can disable it with the bottom option in the trackpad pane shown above: deselect "force click and haptic feedback". However, this will also disable its sensitivity to multiple levels of pressure.
I agree that "get used to it" is probably the best plan.

Sorry for going OT, but all of this talk of fake sound reminded me of the old video game Q*bert. Anyone remember the physical clunk sound made when your little guy would fall off of the pyramid?
Haha. I loved that game.
