It's partly because of that sound that musicians have to actually turn their phones off during recording. If you're too close to the board that clicking gets picked up.
Not just the board -- mic cables running under chairs pick it up too, as do the tie lines under the floor if they're not properly shielded, which they're usually not in older studios.
The great thing about mic cables picking it up is that it's usually easy to narrow down who the offender was. :-)
