Here I am feeling satisfied with only Unicomp's buckling springs despite my history of using tactile (for 3+ years) and (recently) linear switches.
Just RTFM'd and took me far too long to realize that buckling springs and beamsprings are simply different.

There isn’t really a good answer to this, lots of different people like a lot of different sounds. For my money, Topre domes are probably my fav stock sound.
Sounds like a rubber dome with extra steps
Costs more too. That’s how you know it’s better.
I am closing in on like.. 20 keyboards. My HHKB with custom domes is one of the best feeling and best sounding to type on.
Small edit : Only mentioned linear switches, don’t know enough about tactiles to recommend them
Hey, i am currently using Gateron oil king switches which are pretty great stock (the batch i got came out really nice)
Never tried ktt rose and strawberry switches but heard a lot of good things about them as well the prevail switches that are manufactured by jwk !
ktt's are really good but i noticed they need good boards to get the real sound profile out of them.
In my (limited) experience so far I’ve enjoyed the stock sound of my Drop + INVYR Holy Pandas the most.
I'd say it's all about preference. May I suggest a switch sample pack so you can choose your own preferred switch? CannonKeys has some: https://cannonkeys.com/collections/switches/products/switch-sample-packs
Feker matchas and gateron cj.
My current favorites, all stock. Feel and sound amazing:
There's no such thing, as a keyboard's sound is a product of the case, plate and keycaps more than it is the switch. The same switch can sound completely different in a different keyboard. It's also irrelevant as it's a personal choice anyway, even if you could choose how a keyboard sounded by merely choosing a switch.

MX Blacks (100k actuations in). Boba U4Ts for some. Box whites for others.

Completely subjective.
Although we all know that Beamsprings are the best sounding switches.
