Summary: Just like typing on a phone, many users like to set the keyboard sound produced when they type something. Especially, using them gives you a more tactile experience when typing on a touch screen or other device. However, this may not be appropriate for serious, quiet situations, which require the user to turn off the keyboard sound. In this article, we will recommend the methods to disable keyboard sounds on Windows 10.

Microsoft already offers physical feedback on some devices or haptic feedback on others. Both give you a more tactile sensation when typing on a touch screen or some other device. While both are great, nothing beats the clicky typing sound of a keyboard.

On-Screen Keyboard (OSK) is an accessibility feature on Windows 10. The sounds of key clicks give you some haptic feedback. But it can get annoying if you are a good-touch typist or want to type in silence. If you also are annoyed with the keyboard sounds, follow the steps below to switch off the keyboard sounds.

Edit Windows Registry to Disable Keyboard Sounds

You can also turn off the keyboard sound by using the Windows Registry, which is an advanced administrative level tool designed for the administrators to customize the processes of their operating system.

  6. Hit OK and close the Registry Editor.
  7. Finally, restart your PC and you should not hear the keyboard sounds when using it to type something.
