What is with that clicky sound that happens when I turn the volume up or down with my keyboard? Especially with headphones on, that is so annoying!
We hear you. You can turn that off entirely in System Preferences > Sound. Click the Sound Effects tab and uncheck the box for Play Feedback When Volume Is Changed. If you would rather leave this on most of the time and just toggle it off sometimes (like when you’re wearing headphones), just hold down Shift when you’re pressing the volume-adjust keys on your keyboard.
Adjust this preference to banish the clicks.
Bonus: If you’re running Leopard, holding down Shift-Option while you press the volume adjust keys will give you 64 volume levels instead of the default 16. That doesn’t mean your Mac will play four times as loud—the maximum and minimum levels stay the same. You just get more (and smaller) steps in between them.

For those one-time clickes you don't want, you could just hold down shift.
