When you put in trim with this switch, there is a wheel, about 18 inches across, right next to the pilot that starts to turn. As long as you give input, the wheel turns.
It is not quiet. It is a mechanical device.
Push trim for a 1/2 second, the wheel turns a bit.
Autopilot puts in trim, the wheel turns.
MCAS puts in trim, the wheel turns.
This is a very obvious and continuous source of information to the pilot that the stab trim is changing.
