If I remember correctly, the clicking comes from the floppy controller moving the head from track 0 to 1 and back. If the drive returns an error, there is no disk (and a "click"). The "no click" hack simply changes this behaviour to "track 0 to track 0". Be warned, this is urban legend, and might be completely wrong.

I was actually referring to an OS that *does* allow this, and *does* have the indicated problems (Windows). Glad to hear you have been aware of this.
