I think the answer is a pick made from better material. If you're on a tight budget Primetones are very good cheaper picks.

I tested a bunch of pick materials a couple of months ago and I found that the .96 Dunlop Gator Grip picks gave me less click / string scratch than the 1.0 Dunlop Tortex and Nylon, especially on flatpicking. The Dunlop Ultex also gave less string scratch but a brighter tone.

I make my own picks out of water buffalo horn. They don't click.

I'm another pick explorer. I've used most every material and brand of pick out there. I've found that tone and noise are a combination of pick material, thickness, shape and edge treatment (plain, beveled, rounded, etc.)
I've decided that for me and the multiple instruments I play and how I play them, the best tone with least undesirable pick noise winner is the Gravity Gold PEEK pick, 1.5 mm thick. A close second are Wegen's, 2.0 mm right hand bevel. I've had 4 Bluechips which have very low pick noise but always give me a muffled, muted tone. Anything less than 1.0 mm thick gives me a flappity-flap baseball-card-in-bicycle-spokes noise. |
