My MP certainly does "cluck" not "click"!
Although not being interrested in either clique or cloinque, I would like to ad that the few Mp"s I've heard all had a slightly different sound.
Wanna buy either one of these camera's, try a number of samples at your store.
My camera is used a lot for documentary and reportage, the "?????" noise has never been a problem.
Behaving suspicious attracts far more attention.

M cameras tend to get noisier with age, as the lubricant in the shutter dries, after servicing my M3 was noticeably quieter than before.
With the M6ttl, it had been allowed to sit in a collectors showcase for five years before I bought it and was noisier than the M3, however after servicing its almost as quiet as the M3, Malcolm Taylor said that apart from lubricant it was a case of poorly adjusted brakes on the shutter, quite common straight out of the factory, he said,
Although the Ms are very quiet, you can't beat a Rollei (or Retina or similar) if you want a REALLY quiet film camera.
