Noisy Keyboard - Keyboard Tools

Do you miss the days of typewriters, when you heard a distinctive sound each time you pressed one of the keys? Those days are back when you use Noisy Keyboard. This free system tray-based utility lets you hear seven different types of sounds as you hunt and peck your way through another computing session: one that plays when you hit the Spacebar, another that's heard when you touch the Enter key, and a third that's played when any other key is pressed. The setup program installs the sound events in the Windows Control Panel/Sounds module, which means it's easy to modify the sounds that are placed. Take advantage of the three crisp-sounding .wavs provided, or use your own. Need a quiet keyboard for a moment? Just click on the program's system tray icon to instantly mute the sound.
