Hi, how's it going? I was looking up mechanical keyboards and people saying they feel so much better to use (my membrane doesn't feel to bad at all so it really intrigues me how something could be better, I've never tried mechanical keyboards before)

And alongside that, I wonder if a mechanical keyboard can be as quiet/quieter than a regular membrane keyboard, I don't wanna bother the humans around me with loud af clicky noises.

Some are quieter than others.

People who are in open concept offices without noise cancelling headphones are already at a massive disadvantage. I tend not to worry much about it. If I need to do work in the office for some manager’s amusement, I haul in the keyboard and mouse and complain about the low-res monitors. I’m a fucking delight.
