According to https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT204352 it says "On Mac notebooks made before 2016, you can turn off the sound of your trackpad's click by selecting Silent clicking."
I do not see this option in the trackpad settings in osX 10.13.6
MacBook Pro 15", macOS 10.13

Silent clicking is supposed to be under Point & Click of Trackpad Settings, right? See my screenshot, it’s not there. Am I looking in the wrong place?
What happens if you Select "Tap to click," this allows for a slight touch and requires no hard click.

Select this option to turn off the clicking sound on a Force Touch trackpad.
Do you have a "Force Touch" trackpad?

I believe force touch trackpad was introduced in 2015.

I guess it probably doesn't have a force trackpad. I tried the "Tap to click" and a tap click doesn't make a sound but when doing a click and drag it makes the sound.
Thanks for the quick replies, I guess it's just not really going to be an option for me on this computer. It's just irritating to listen to in a super quiet room, knowing that it would work just as well without the constant clicking sound.
