Keyboard noise on new Macbook Air with Big Sur

Does anybody know a fix for the incredibly noisy keyboard on the new Macbook Air with the M1 chip? The option to not play key sounds seems to have been removed from the Accessibility options - any ideas? Thx!

Mac mini M1 keyboard lagging I just bought a mac mini M1. Found that the keyboard frequently lagging, sometimes unresponsive up to a few seconds. Same problem even if I use a wired keyboard connected directly to USB C port. I have read related post on same topic in this forum 2021 but cannot find a solution. Is there any setting or driver that I might be missing?

Keyboard sound macbook pro m1 (2020) Hi guys, First of all, happy holidays. I had a little question regarding the keyboard of my macbook pro M1 (2020). I've got it a couple of days ago but I notice sometimes while typing I get a slight "spring" sound. It's barely noticeable but I was wondering if this is normal? I'm very nurturing regarding my electronics and I just want to make sure it won't cause harm. It seems like the keyboard does this once in a while but besides that everything works just fine. Thanks in advance. All the best, Nicholas

Have a look in System Preferences >> Keyboard. There might be at bottom area Silence Keyboard Sound
