Since many people are claiming that small noises are a pain, Logitech set out to design mices which are about 10dB less clicky than the usual ones.
At around 25dB, the M220 Silent/M330 Silent Plus are probably near the noise floor of most office spaces, and surprisingly not a premium product (under US$30).
That doesn't sound like a bad thing for people with small places and light-sleeping partners either. Are Soylentils really bothered by Joe-the-spreadsheet-clicker, or do you believe in counter-offensive?

They died to me when they stopped making the original logitech portable trackman.
For those of you too young to remeber that one - it was wonderful; the thing can be rested in you hand (imagine how you fold your hands in you lap when sitting down) and operated with a minimal and very natural thumb-motion, and the buttons follow naturally along your index-finger and allows for you to use either left or right button simple by chosing between a flexing or closing motion of the index finger (middleclick requires a thumbmotion however).
Quite frankly they are the only non-pen pointing device I've ever used that felt comfortable even after several hours.
(IBM produced a similar thing that was slightly small and a bit more flimsy - still run circles around pretty much anything non-pen being sold today)
