Question about a Lexmark Model M 1390401 (1996) I just got

Just got this one, great condition:

But it sounds a bit different. Namely it doesn't seem to have that tin-y hollow "pin" sound after the click which you can hear in these videos:

Does anyone know why? It's definitively the same buckling spring keyboard. It also definitively does not sound as loud as I would have expected.

Don't worry about it. Every one is different. Some people like them crazy loud, but feel is what's important.

"It's 110, but it doesn't feel it to me, right. If anybody goes down. Everybody was so worried yesterday about you and they never mentioned me. I'm up here sweating like a dog. They don’t think about me. This is hard work.
Do you feel the breeze? I don't want anybody going on me. We need every voter. I don't care about you. I just want your vote. I don't care."

Actually I figured it out and 'fixed' the issue.

The previous owner had done a floss mod, I removed it. New sound:


A lot more tactile and ping-y. Love it now.
