How do you turn off the keyboard clicks sound on macbook pro?
Hi,
Anyone knows how do you turn off the keyboard clicks sound?
I tried System Prefs --> Sound --> Sound Effects --> Play feedback when volume is changed.
But no luck.
Thanks.

Apologies, I missed that.
OSX does not have a facility for clicky keys (not that I can find) so you must be running something else that is causing it.
Download and run Etrecheck, then post the report here, let's see what is running on your Mac.
Have you booted in Safe mode to see if it happens in that mode as well?

You've a lot of junk installed - and remnants of MacKeeper - but I don't know of anything that you have installed that would cause 'clicking.' You could safely get rid of (unless you need VodaPhome to connect to the Internet):

Might help, might not, with the 'clicking.'

Does this happen in Safe Mode?
I have searched for hours because I have the same problem. Then I started typing and it was quiet. It probably always was. It's my trackpad that clicks every time and the sound of the space key that is fine. Now I need to go back and figure out how to make the trackpad quiet. Then need to check with Clinton on how to get rid of MacKeeper crap that comes up every time I click a ling or try to go somewhere.
Had the same problem than understood that it was Punto Switcher making this click sounds.
this is it - I had the same problem and found the answer on the internet
System Preferences -> Sound -> Uncheck "Play feedback when volume is changed"
There you go 🙂
bingo! thnx a lot!
Go to system preferences---> accessibility---->Keyboard-----> uncheck enable slow keys-----> hit options button----> uncheck key sounds
Omg... I have struggled with this forever. Thank you. Is there anyway to do the same to the tracking pad?
Try this https://spontaneousderivation.com/2012/02/04/turning-on-keyboard-sounds-on-mac-o s-x/
it worked for me.
On Mac OS X 10.12.5, go to accesibility > keyboard > click options in "Enable Slow Keys". You'll find "Use click key sounds"
I know this is literal years later but it sounds like sticky keys? If you somehow are still having this issue check your keyboard or accessibility settings for sticky keys 🙂
How do you turn off the keyboard clicks sound on macbook pro?
