Yes but how do you know that, how can you prove there is no causation? It's easy, just buy another light switch of the same manufacturer but don't connect it up to any wires. When you flip the switch it will make a identical audio click, if the lights don't go on then you know it's not the sound of the click that makes the lights go on. Alternately you could get some soundproofing material and put it around your existing switch, the one already hooked up to the wires; now when you flip the switch you hear nothing and if the lights still come on then you know the sound does not cause the lights coming on. We say that X causes Y If when X happens Y always happens AND when X doesn't happen Y never happens, and we know for a fact that when the chemistry of the brain changes consciousness always changes AND when the chemistry doesn't change consciousness never changes, thus the conclusion is obvious.
