I'm admittedly only a very surface level keyboard person (I can tell you the difference between Cherry reds, blues, and browns and know what a buckling spring is but not much use outside that), but aren't tactiles generally pretty quiet? Not as quiet as linears but honestly what I expect a keyboard to sound like
Generally yes, I think many people confuse and correlate clicky switches with tactile switches.
Clicky switches are always tactile, but tactile switches arent always clicky.
Some have even quieter actuation but at that point I'd argue the biggest difference relates to bottoming out the switch and if theres any dampening efforts there.
