Loud Typer

Loud Typer adds a sound to each keypress on your Mac, giving you typewriter-style audio or custom sounds if you prefer an audible keyboard.

by Nikolay Denislamov

What you get

Give your Mac keyboard a typewriter sound or a sound of your own.

You get an audible response whenever you press a key on your Mac. Loud Typer starts with typewriter sounds, so you can give everyday typing an old-fashioned soundtrack without changing your keyboard. If that sound isn't for you, you can choose from the included sound sets or create your own sound theme.

You can also make your keyboard sound different depending on which application you're using, rather than keeping the same audio everywhere. When you want to adjust your choices, you can open Settings through Loud Typer's menu bar icon.

Your speaker setup may affect the timing: Bluetooth or USB speakers can introduce a delay between a keypress and its sound. If you notice that lag, try your Mac's internal speakers or wired headphones instead.

  • Hear each keypress

    You get a sound with every keypress, with typewriter audio as the default.

  • Choose your typing soundtrack

    You can pick an included sound set or create your own theme to suit your taste.

  • Vary sounds by app

    You can give typing a different sound in different applications instead of using one theme everywhere.

Best for

  • You miss the sound of a typewriter
  • You want audible feedback while typing
  • You want different keyboard sounds in different apps

Skip it if

You don't need it if you prefer silent typing or want to change how your keyboard works rather than how it sounds.
