The click is necessary for detecting disk-insertions - the relevant signal is only updated when the head steps.

No-click applications work by asking the drive to step beyond the valid range of head positions. Most drives go "Nope, not doing that", and thus become silent.

If your drive doesn't become silent, it's trying to move to an invalid position, which will not be good for it. So no, if your drive doesn't become silent, it's not safe to use no-click applications.

Disabling the interval would, unfortunately, render the drive unable to detect insertions.
