More…?! :)
I totally feel you - the one reservation is that I’m using (gasp) not the original Minivac Relay sound. I need to go to a Computer Museum that will let me record one to offer a more authentic simulated experience.
So tldr - let me get a clean real sound and then we can come back to this question :)
I heard some clicks. I thought they were just the sounds of the switches I was toggling. Are there other (relay) sounds I somehow missed?
Just to make sure I'm not misunderstanding:
The relay click sound you're hearing should only happen when a relay turns on, and when it turns off. There is no sound when a button is pressed - you can check this by loading an empty simulator and pressing any of the buttons at the bottom (the simulator won't make any sound):

((Once/if I get to see a Minivac in real life, I may learn that buttons do make sounds..))
When a relay turns on and off, a sound is played. In the following circuit, check this by pressing and releasing the button 1:
