I don't get the clicky keys for the sound, personally. For me, it means that I don't have to bottom out the key to know that a key press has happened and I like having the sharp click. This is very nice for me, as I have reoccurring tendonitis in my wrist and the tendons that connect my fingers. That and the fact that I play organ, where you're supposed to press the key the absolute minimum to get the sound out.

Also it just feels nicer to me.

Then again, I haven't spent an insane amount of money on a keyboard. My work keyboard is a Red Dragon 10 keyless with Cherry MX blues (what you think of with clicky keyboards), one of the cheapest you can get on Amazon at around $25. Definitely worth the money, and in all honesty not a whole lot louder than the OEM keyboards some of my co-workers use (probably because I don't bottom out the keys).
