How to Disable Keyboard Typing Sounds on Gboard for Android Devices.

If you use Gboard on your Android device and the typing sounds are distracting, there’s a fix for that. I prefer typing without sounds and you probably are the same.
You can turn off keyboard clicks or taps easily.

This works for most Android devices, including the Sony Xperia 1V running Android 14 and Android 15, as well as Samsung, Google Pixel, OnePlus, and more.

Keyboard typing sounds can be helpful for some, but most of the time they are not needed unless you need confirmation for keboard taps.
A few reasons why you might want to disable them:

  • Distraction in quiet spaces: The clicking noise can be distracting in quiet environments like offices or during meetings.
  • Personal preference: Some people find the sounds annoying and prefer silent typing.

How to Disable Typing Sounds on Gboard

To disable typing sounds on Gboard, follow the steps:

Open Gboard Settings:

    • Tap on any text field to bring up the keyboard.
    • Look for the gear icon at the top of the keyboard. If you don’t see it, press and hold the comma key (,) or the menu key (⋯) to access the settings.

    Use the Preferences:

      • In the Gboard settings menu, tap on “Preferences.” Look for the options related to sounds, vibrations, and other keyboard behaviors.

      Turn Off Keypress Sounds:

        • Look for the option labeled “Sound on keypress.”
        • Toggle the switch to the OFF position. Done! No more typing sounds.

        If My Device Looks Different?

        If your Android device has a slightly different menu layout (some brands like Samsung or OnePlus customize their settings), you could still find the settings. The process is still similar. Just look for keywords like “Sound” or “Key Sound” in the settings menu. You’ll find the option to disable typing sounds there.

        Extra Tips

        While you’re in the Gboard settings, look at a few other options too. These are some suggestions to check and customize:

        • Vibration Feedback: If you like a bit of vibration response when typing, you can customize the vibration intensity under “Vibrate on keypress” in the Preferences menu.
        • Turn Off Pop-up on Keypress: If you don’t like the little pop-up that shows the letter you’re typing, you can disable it in the same Preferences section.
        • Change Your Keyboard Theme: Open the “Theme” section in Gboard settings to personalize your keyboard’s look. You can choose from a variety of colors and styles.

        Conclusion

        Disabling keyboard typing sounds on Gboard is simple. If you’re in a quiet room or just prefer a silent keyboard, you can keep the phone quiet.
