I agree, MX Brown are silent enough to not get notice.
I guess it's a positive side effect of open spaces: there is so much noise around from phone calls and co-workers discussing that it doesn't make any difference.
More seriously, I've a Ducky keyboard with MX Browns (and it's also a weird one with MX Blues (the noisier ones) for the arrows and page UP/DOWN), and I never got any remark for that.
The only story I've heard from colleagues complaining about keystroke noises was for a friend that has a really heavy typing (to the point of cracking the key caps), and even in this case, rubber O-rings did the trick to dampened the noise enough.
