Can your iPhone get keyloggers on it? If yes how can you find it and remove it?… Example when you are typing and the clicks randomly get loud.

To add on to WheelieNick’s reply, you cannot get malware, viruses, hacked, simply by opening a link. The link says to open Settings > Sounds and Haptics > Keyboard Feedback > Turn off Sound. You can then experiment with Haptics and see if you like that, which doesn’t make a sound.

Not unless yo jailbroke the phone.

A key logger you mean? You would have to put your phone into DFU mode, and restore iOS using a computer. That should remove the jailbreak. Note that jailbreaking forfeits all rights to support and service here or from Apple.
Oh, and do NOT restore from a backup made from a jailbroken device.

No, iPhones cannot get keyloggers on it that easily. iOS is extremely well protected
A loud click is most likely a glitch occurring in the haptic feedback of your iPhones keyboard

Is there any answer to that question that can be wholly trusted?
I mean, I could conceivably cryptographically sign an answer to that question, but you’d still need to trust the certificate and certificate chain I used to sign my response.
Or maybe you’re an immensely valuable target, and will want to take steps well beyond what can be provided around here. That list includes political dissidents, investigative journalists, senior in private or government, with access to sensitive or classified or military data, with access to great wealth, or having deeply, deeply peeved an immensely well-funded adversary, among other folks.
As for my experience with the original question, the occasionally flaky keyclick volume has been around ~forever. No hacks, no exploits, no jailbreaks, just an longstanding and apparently-hard-to-isolate bug.

How do I detect and remove keyloggers causing random loud clicks on my iPhone?
