I have both here too Dave and Ive noticed that too. Probably something to do
with the type and/or mounting place of the relay as a guess.

Hi-
 I have an OMNI VI+ and an ORION. When running CW on the VI+ I can't hear
the keying relay when sending. On the ORION, when sending CW the keying
relay is -loud-. As an example, if I put my ear close to the OMNI I hear it
as a very faint click. Same ear as close to the ORION it sounds like someone
tapping on the desk with a pencil. Or, when using headphones the OMNI is
silent CW, the ORION is not.
 Is that a similar experience to yours? Is it just a matter of one loud
relay or is it typical?
 On a 1 to 10 scale, this is not a major thing, but keeps me searching for
the 10 from my 9.8 feeling right now.
