QUIET ceiling switch?

The ceiling switch in my bathroom is as noisy as hell. Pull the cordto turn on the light and it makes a very loud "kerching" noise. No,you can't have a better description! :)During the day it's not so bad, you get used to it, but at night itcan wake up my son who sleeps in the room next to the bathroom.So, who makes a switch thats quiet? I've been in to my local branchof CEF and tried thiers and I've been to the sheds. They all seemnoisy. (The current one is a Wikes own brand and nearly new). Is itinherent in the design of the switchgear?Thanks for any pointers.

There is a kind of implied assumption made in the regs that the bathroom will be fitted with a suitable extraneous conductivity elimination device. called a "towel" in some parts ;-)
