How much noise does the mouse make when clicking and using the wheel? I'm looking for something very quiet I could use in a library.

It's neither the quietest nor the loudest mouse I've used in the last year. The scroll is quiet but barely audible, but clicking is a bit louder. Personally I don't think it's bad form to use a typical mouse in the library but if you're looking for a silent click, this mouse doesn't have it.

The wheel makes no perceptible noise. The mechanical sound from clicking the mouse is minimal. I doubt if it can be heard from beyond five or six feet away.

The wheels are very smooth rubber and have ball bearings. I have not yet noticed any audible sound from them after several uses. However, I am usually shooting events, so any wheel noise would be inaudible anyway, but rolling it around I can't hear anything in a quiet room.

It's moderate in noise. Probably less than MS kb but not by much. Edit: After sitting down and using it I would say it's just a tad quieter than the MS keyboards, not as loud as the old (and well loved by me) IBM keyboards from the early 90's. It certainly would be annoying still in a library if you're a quick typist, say 60+ wpm. Also, I can confirm I have to move it between USB ports when it goes missing, about 2x a month as other people have mentioned in reviews.

its at normal volume for a click :D, not extremely quite like Apple's mouse but the sound is not disturbing at all

Yes, the wheel clicks softly during scrolling. Most mice I have used have a harder click than this.

You can hear the clicks with this mouse. I use headphones, so I don't hear it. Hope this helps!

Agree with other comments. I think it's pretty quiet, but not for a library atmosphere.Haven't had any issues with USB (I have two of these)

I wouldn't say it's any louder than a standard mouse click... Honestly, what you really have to worry about is how loud the keyboard is.

The noise is noticeable in a quiet environment. To me it allows me to know that the touch sensor on the button is working. I think that is a control that could turn that off. Here is a link to more details of that mouse. http://www.microsoft.com/hardware/en-us/help/support/how-to/mouse/use-sculpt-touch-mouse

Well all mice click. This one is actually pretty quiet. It shouldn't be annoying but it all depends on the people.

Anyone know of a more quiet mouse they can recommend? My Logitech Anywhere Mouse MX is a little too loud too....

It is not totally silent but more quiet than an average mouse. Barely noticeable to me.

This mouse makes a clicking sound when you press the button. I've never actually worked with a mouse that was completely quiet when I browsed with it.

It clicks. Not does it have an option for a flywheel mode. My new mouse does, and I've found it come in handy quite often.

The clicking isn't silent, but after testing against an old Dell RP962 / PY777 and a new E-3lue Cobra this Amazon Basic mouse clicks more muted than both. As others have said scrolling quickly produces a slightly more noticeable sound, but scrolling slowly is stealth compared to the ambient noise I normally hear in my office.

The keyboard is not loud, I would say just a normal click sound, perhaps the same as a laptop.

What up Nestor. Cool name btw. The mouse has a noise as all mice do, however; it is barely noticeable and relatively quiet in my opinion.
