How can i silence the right and left click on the touchpad? HP Pavilion DV 7 Laptop PC

[Wardenkathy]

I just got a new laptop, Pavilion dv7. One of my little quirks is, how can I silence the right and left click on the touchpad? When I am working in a quiet area it is a bit annoying hearing the click....click....click, HELP! Thanks

Thanks for the advice, unfortunately neither worked. I guess I might add that it is an Windows 7 operating system.

I have just got the same laptop and find the clicking noise very annoying, and if you go anywhere such as a library it will be frowned on. I must admit because it is so noisy in the shop it is not noticable. I have just turned off the noise for all the functions, to find this so annoying.

Sounds like a great idea, I unfortunately tried everyway that I could find and still couldn't figure out how to silence it. Suggestions of steps to do this would be great, thanks.

I agree that this is most annoying. There must be a way to turn it off. I have Probook 4730s. Synaptics touch pad. Can anyone help?

The only answer is to buy a different computer.  The "clik" is designed into the right and left buttons.  It's mechanical.   Settings changes have no effect at all. The bottons produce that annoying sound even with the laptop turned off.  Why HP did this I have no idea.  You can avoid the left button entirely and use double tap on the pad itself.  Silence finally, but there is no solution or option to the "right click" button.  It just clicks away, forever.

Yes, I tried to silence those touchpad buttons and realized they are mechanical when they made the sound with the laptop turned off. Irritating.
