Not a clue

I guess everyone has things that are above and below the radar of what matters to them. I can honestly say that the only camera that I've used that has had a dealbreakingly bad shutter has been the Sony A7r.  Even the regular A7 (which was pretty loud and crunchy) I stopped noticing after a few days with it.

As to M43?  Of all of the M43 bodies I have owned in the past six years (12!) I can honestly say I have absolutely no idea what any of them sounded like, except the current two I have when I am actually out shooting with them.  As a matter if fact, since i currently use the GX8 in mostly e-shutter mode, I often find one of my fingers accidentally blocking the little speaker on the left side of the body that produces the artificial shutter sound, and I wonder where it went, until I remember and shift my grip a little. This is actually a frequent source of amusement for me, by the way. I just think it's funny when it happens, no idea why.

So, I couldn't tell you which camera of all of them had the best shutter sound.  They were all within my (admittedly broad) acceptance range, so I simply didn't notice.
