elvperDo you mean browns or blues friend? Blues are the clicky variety, whereas browns are just tactile, so they make little to no sound at all.

SNReloadedBrowns are one of the loudest switches, them being silent is a myth. Blues just have a more clickly sound while browns have a shorter but loud and sharp sound.

Based on the 2nd source, the browns are 2db louder than blues.

elvperIf your browns are loud it's because they're bottoming. They're pretty near silent if you don't bottom them.
IMO, the main problem with browns is that tactiles kind of force you to bottom the switches by requiring extra force to get over the hump, and that carries through to bottom the switch.
That, and it feels like my keyboard is full of sand.
