I happen to very much like mechanical keyboards but not the noise. I think it's noise pollution tbh. Loud clicky keyboards, usually using Cherry MX Blue switches or like the old IBM or Northgate keyboards, can be retrofitted with O-rings so that they're quieter by limiting downward travel and the stress and noise that bottoming them generates. If you like mechanical keyboards without the noise, MX Clear (modded with brown springs) or MX Brown switches are the way to go. There's a whole subreddit on DIY and keyboard mods.
