switch off touchpad click sound

I am working on MacBook Air 13 inch 2017 running Mac OS Catalina 10.15.4.

How can I disable the click sound of the Touch Bar?

Standard Apple support instructions tell me that in the system preferences window left hand side underneath the 3 basic dialog boxes there is a ruler to switch it off. However on my system preferences this function is not present:

See this Site from Apple: How to use the Force Touch trackpad - Apple Support

As it reads: "On some Mac notebooks, you can turn off the sound of your trackpad's click by selecting Silent clicking." So, being applicable to only "some Mac notebooks" if it is not an option on your Mac notebook, it will not show up.
