Mine did not make an unusually loud click when pressed.  In fact I don't
recall it being audible except in a completely silent environment.

They worked fine under all versions of OS X, and under 9.2, on my Pismo. 
Put up a ghosted gray box overlaying the screen, with bars for brightness.
 Should appear similar to the volume overlay.

I would try resetting the PRAM, although that's unlikely to do anything
for your trackpad.
