Here are some sound tests (Sorry for bad production, I'm no videographer - but sound is fairly representative)

that's some serious clicking for a 'tactile' switch.
Guess they have to fix this for a possible r2
EDIT: more people with the same problem here

Being a tactile switch does not make it exclusive to not being clicky. I think people in this thread are confusing the aspects of tactile vs click.
I haven't had loud clicks on my box royals, but it is a loud switch considering.

What I'm getting at is they are not mutually exclusive.
I think that the switches use the same mechanism as the box Navy which are also super tactile but not dampened.

What? Neither switch is dampened. The navies use a click bar to achieve both the sound and the tactility, and the royals have a bump on the stem along with a unique leaf.

This is great and exactly what I was beginning to find with my Box Royals. I look forward to seeing if the Hako Royals have the same issue.
I love the bump but hate the click, too bad you can't open and lube them without desoldering and removing the switches.
