I don't have a mouse, but this is what the docstrings say:

mouse-wheel-click-event's value is mouse-2

Event that should be temporarily inhibited after mouse scrolling.
The mouse wheel is typically on the mouse-2 button, so it may easily
happen that text is accidentially yanked into the buffer when
scrolling with the mouse wheel.  To prevent that, this variable can be
set to the event sent when clicking on the mouse wheel button.

mouse-wheel-inhibit-click-time's value is 0.35

Time in seconds to inhibit clicking on mouse wheel button after scroll.
