It depends on the people, but it's safe to err on the side of yes clickety keyboards annoy some. Nobody will be excessively interrupted/distracted by a quiet keyboard. The same is not true for the other direction. At my last position, open office, a few people on my team complained about other members' loud buckling-spring-like keyboards. Since it was an open office and we were all complaining about noises well beyond some of the keyboards, like sales calls and constant conversations, it was somewhat moot and nothing was really done about it. But it definitely increased animosity within the team, it pays to be especially considerate of your neighbors, particularly ones you need to collaborate with.
