How would you describe the sound of the harpsichord? How is it different from the sound of the modern day piano?

When a harpsichord is played, you can hear air-slashing sound that is not heard with a piano. This slight sound is made when a jack falls by its own weight (the jack returns to its rest position). (When the jack returns, the plectrum circumvents the string and thus the string is not plucked again.)

Explanation: give me :)
