Windows does not include any standalone setting to enable clicking sound while typing or pressing any key. However, it includes a few accessibility settings to make using the keyboard accessible to all users. As such, these accessibility features also include the option to play click or beep sounds during particular keystrokes depending on the feature.
Here, we go through all the settings you may use based on whether you want the key sounds on particular keys or all of them. We have also included the methods to set up the sound settings for touch-screen or on-screen keyboards.
Enable/Disable All Keyboard Key Sounds
If you are hearing a clicking sound when pressing any key on your system, it indicates thatFilter keys are enabled. Also, one of its settings is forcing the keys to beep when pressed. If you want to enable a clicking sound when pressing any key, you may enable this feature as well as the corresponding configuration.
Enable/Disable Caps, Scroll, and Num Lock Sound
If you are getting beeps while pressing the lock keys like Caps lock, Scroll lock, and Num lock, it is because of another Accessibility setting, called Toggle keys. Conversely, you may enable such configuration from the same setting.
Enable/Disable Shift, Alt, Ctrl, and Windows Key Sound
Another accessibility setting, Sticky keys, involves shortcut keys like Shift, Alt, Ctrl, and Windows Key. When enabled, pressing these keys prompts the system to wait for another key press so as to utilize the key combination to trigger a shortcut. This way, you don’t need to keep the shortcut key pressed until you press the other key in the combination.
To let users know whether they have pressed the shortcut keys, this feature includes an additional option to play beeps when pressing such keys. So, you may enable/disable sounds for these particular keys through this feature. However, keep in mind that you need to enable Sticky keys to hear the beeps and as such, you may encounter issues with typing.
