 Later rock and blues players found the key click characteristic to be desireable and some jazz organists consider it to be essential. Many Hammond organ simulators include a key click control to reproduce this characteristic.

 Whilst dirty key contacts or busbars and also deteriorated grounding connections can enhance the key click, the key click is always present even with perfectly functioning and clean key contacts and busbars and perfect grounding connections so therefore Laurens Hammond and the subsequent Hammond designers tried to suppress the key click sound right from the start in 1935 until the end of Hammond tonewheel production in 1975. 
  
 Hammond reduced the key click by calibrating the tonewheel generator to have the "pre-emphasis" in the midrange and the treble TG notes which meant that the midrange and the treble TG notes were set to have a progressively upward rising output curve in their output levels.
