Since it is in gear, and the other side is locked - you are turning the engine over. Even with a 100% open diff, if you lock the pinion - you cannot turn the wheel up in the air if the other side is locked.

The switch has open and closed. (on and off) You can't change that. When the fuse is pulled or in this case the circuit is open, it will be loud. There isn't a way to 'fix' it. Maybe change switches but know that on is going to be quiet and off is going to be loud regardless of what switch you use.
