Trim wheel motion

I thought "traditionally" the pitch trim wheel went "ping, ping, ping" like a bicycle bell?
Easily distinguished from just about everything else.
Christian, for things Boeing, I believe you are correct.

A while ago on earlier threads, PJ2 briefed that the A330/340 trim wheel moved silently.

Don't know why they made that decision at Airbus, but I think they need to revisit it.
