Does anybody know where to find a silent (quiet) 3PDT momentary switch?
In other words it shouldn't make a click noise when pressing it.

Switchcraft (!) makes leaf switches that are available as momentary multipole two or three position and don't click last I paid attention. They use crossbar contacts capable of reliably switching low audio levels. They are not cheap!
THAT ^^^^^^^^
Yes,definitely.
In one position it IS the Audio Path.
But way to avoid clicks and pops is NOT having any DC voltage difference between contacts, hence no jumps.
I like how people aren't sure whether the "click noise" OP refers to is a mechanical noise or one that affects the analog signal.

If a multi-Pole switch does not CHUNK, then it is liable to connect the poles a millisecond or two apart.
Why not a single-pole plus electronic switching? Relays packed in foam?

I meant mechanical noise. The click sound a switch makes when operated not an audible electronic 'pop'. I do not wish to use relays.
It is actually for a very simple audio switch box to compare sources without hearing me making the switch between both. I already did this with a 2pdt switch but this one makes a clicking sound. I want to switch grounds too so I was looking for a 3pdt switch like this that operates silently:

Thanks Silverprout. Very good suggestion. I just ordered these though:
2 PCS PBS 24 312SP 4A 125VAC PCB Terminal OP Momentary OP Type Zwart Gitaar Effecten Pedaal Stompbox Gitaar onderdelen-in Boot onderdelen & Accessoires van sport & Entertainment op AliExpress
I think they will do the job.
