It depends on frequency and power, humans can only hear up to about 18KHz. Although most sounders for recreational boats are way above that frequency (due to operating in shallow water and the requirement for high definition in a fishfinder). So probably the clicks you hear are the frequency created by the 'ping' rate ie: transmit a sound-'listen' for an echo- transmit a sound- listen for an echo- etc,etc. So I reckon whether you can hear it ping or not would probably be dependent on the transmit power of the sounder.

I just read back through what I wrote and man I sound like a nerd :blush:

I just have a 'point and shoot' sounder and find it does it only in very shallow or very turbid waters.

Turbid - my word for the day ;-)
