If you want to make the perfect solution, you should add the following lcode to your app. Otherwise after the first read, the setting is cached, and if the user switches to settings, makes change and switches back, we should re-read the cached value. :)

- (void)applicationWillEnterForeground:(UIApplication *)application {
CFPreferencesAppSynchronize(CFSTR("/var/mobile/Library/Preferences/com.apple.preferences.sounds"));

If someone tells me how to comment on this site I would really become more helpful.

There's no documented way to check this, but it's possible. I don't know if this really counts as "private API", so be prepared for rejection if you use this method.

The keyboard click sound settings is stored in the shared com.apple.preferences.sounds preference. So you could try 

return CFPreferencesGetAppBooleanValue(
        CFSTR("keyboard"),
        CFSTR("/var/mobile/Library/Preferences/com.apple.preferences.sounds"),
        NULL);

(BTW: the actual call to play the "click" sound in UIKit is [UIHardware _playSystemSound:1104];)
