Give your everyday keyboard a different sound
Add a mechanical click, a rounded thock or a typewriter sound as you type. Keyboard Sound Clicker brings audible feedback to your Windows desktop without changing your keyboard.
Choose one of five built-in effects or import your own short WAV, then set the volume to suit your workspace.
>> Find Keyboard Sound Clicker in Microsoft Store
Find the sound you want to type with
Choose Mechanical, Thock, Crisp, Soft or Typewriter from the built-in sound menu. All five effects are synthesized locally on your PC.
Want something else? Import a supported WAV file and preview it with the keycap button before using it.
Each physical key press produces one click, without repeated sounds when you hold a key down. Subtle pitch and volume variation keeps successive clicks from sounding identical.
Adjust the volume and timing
Keep the clicks quiet or make them more noticeable with the volume control.
For timing, enable or disable intentional sound delay and choose a minimum and maximum between 0 and 100 milliseconds. Use equal values for a fixed delay or different values for variation between clicks.
Windows and your audio device add their own latency, so these settings are not a guarantee of total playback delay.
Stay in the tray while you work
Minimize or close the window to keep sounds running in the notification area. Use the tray menu to reopen the app, toggle keyboard sounds or exit completely.
If you want sounds ready after sign-in, enable Start with Windows. This is optional and off by default; when enabled, startup opens the app directly in the tray.
Make it sound like your setup
- Choose a built-in effect or import a short WAV.
- Preview the sound and adjust the volume.
- Set an optional delay range, then leave the app in the tray.
- Toggle sounds off whenever you need quiet.
The app remembers your local preferences and imported sound copy for later use.
Common questions
Does it record what I type?
No. It observes key-down and key-up events to play sounds, but does not turn them into text or record keystrokes. It works offline and does not send data over a network.
What custom audio can I use?
Supported PCM or IEEE-float WAV files, no longer than two seconds and no larger than 2 MiB.
Will it click in password fields?
Password fields in ordinary desktop applications can trigger sounds too. Switch sounds off when needed. Secure, elevated or protected applications may not produce clicks.
How do I stop the app completely?
Use Exit in the window or tray menu. Closing the window normally keeps it running in the notification area.
What hardware do I need?
An x64 PC running Windows 10 version 2004, build 19041, or later, including Windows 11, with a working audio output device.
