Yes, Keyboard click sounds can be enabled on a MacBook Air.

Open System Preferences ➔ Sound ➔ Sound Effects tab: Here, ensure that Play User Interface Sound Effects is checked. Then back to System Preferences ➔ Accessibility ➔ Keyboard ➔ Hardware tab: Here, ensure that Enable Slow Keys is checked ➔ Options ➔ Use Click Key Sounds (Checked): Here, Adjust the Acceptance Delay. Now you should be able to hear the keyboard click sounds after the key has been depressed for the time set in the acceptance delay.
