How loud is the clicking noise made by a mantis?

I have seen a lot of threads about Mantis making clicking noises, but haven't seen anyone talking about how loud it is. I have a very faint clicking noise, not very often, at different times in the day. How loud is the clicking noise from a mantis?
 
Its loud enough to scare my dog. She runs out of the room and I have to call her back and tell her its okay. Too funny.
 
So this faint click I hear is probably not a mantis? Any ideas on what it may be?

I thought pistol shrimp are loud, so I wasn't considering that.

I only have a few hermits and I have watched them during the clicks, I don't think they are banging into rocks or glass to make the clicks.
 
I also have a click. I probably do have a Mantis, since my rainsford goby recently went missing. Have yet to see a carcass, or the culprit. My 3 other fish, 3 cleaner shrimp, and fire shrimp are doing fine, so maybe they killed it. I can always hope.
