typing sound

Keys being struck

The clicking, clacking, or tapping noise produced when pressing keys on a keyboard or typewriter.

Mechanical keyboards produce a more pronounced typing sound than membrane keyboards.

The sound varies by key switch type and typing force: The typing sound from his old IBM keyboard echoed through the office.

Some find the sound satisfying or nostalgic; others find it distracting.
