In this simple guide, you’ll learn how to make the Touch Keyboard features customization play sounds when you type, or how to turn those sounds off.

Windows 11 has a touch keyboard that lets you tap on the screen to type letters. This is great if your device has a touchscreen but no physical keyboard.

When you tap the keys on the touch keyboard, you can hear a clicking sound — just like a real keyboard. If you want to hear this sound or prefer to type quietly, follow the easy steps below!

Turn On or Off Touch Keyboard Sounds Using Settings

1. Open Settings: Click the Start button or press Win + I on your keyboard.
2. Go to Typing Settings: Click Time & language on the left, then click Typing on the right.

Or you can click this link to open Typing settings directly: Open Typing Settings

3. Click the arrow next to Touch keyboard to open more options.
4. Check the box for Play key sounds as I type to turn sounds ON. Uncheck it to turn sounds OFF.

You’re done! You can now close the Settings window.

Turn On or Off Touch Keyboard Sounds Using the Registry (Advanced)

If you like, you can also change the sound setting by editing the Windows Registry. Please be careful with this method — only do it if you’re comfortable making changes to your PC.

Turn ON Touch Keyboard Sounds

reg add "HKEY_CURRENT_USERSoftwareMicrosoftTabletTip1.7" /v EnableKeyAudioFeedback /t REG_DWORD /d 1 /f

Turn OFF Touch Keyboard Sounds

reg add "HKEY_CURRENT_USERSoftwareMicrosoftTabletTip1.7" /v EnableKeyAudioFeedback /t REG_DWORD /d 0 /f

To use these, save the code to a file with a .reg extension and double-click it to apply the change, or open the Registry Editor and navigate to the key to change the value.
