How Quiet Are The New Yellow Switches?

Looking at a BW V3 Pro and was curious to see just how quiet these "New" Yellow switches are as the board's info page says they now include dampeners to make them silent.

I am looking at a board with Cherry silent reds, if I am allowed to use that name here... Just curious how these compare. Does anyone have a a BW V3 Pro or any other board really that uses these new yellow switches?

I would love to hear a sound clip!

Please check out this link where Razer explained each switch, including an audio sample.
Thank you for the link. I have seen that page many times. A single click does not give much context to how a switch sounds though. I will keep searching.

No sweat! You may watch unboxing videos of Razer BlackWidow V3 Mini, BlackWidow V3, BlackWidow V3 Pro, BlackWidow Elite, BlackWidow Tournament Edition Chroma V2, BlackWidow V3 Tenkeyless, and Pro Type Ultra as all of them has mechanical yellow switches. Refer to this link.
Does anyone know when Razer added dampeners to their yellow switches? I have seen a bunch of comments that they do not have dampeners despite being called out on the product page.
