How to remove the sound of the keyboard on Xiaomi: all ways for MIUI

The sound of keystrokes on Xiaomi can be annoying, especially if you type at night or in a quiet environment. Fortunately, the manufacturer has provided several ways to disable this audio response, but not all of them are obvious. In this article, we will examine all possible methods, from standard settings to hidden MIUI functions.

Complicating the problem is that MIUI is regularly updated and the location of options can change. We tested the instructions on the latest firmware versions (MIUI 14 based on Android 13/14) and took into account the features of different models from the budget Redmi to the flagship Xiaomi 13/14. If you did not find the right item on the menu, do not be upset: below are alternative solutions.

It is important to understand that the sound of the keyboard can come from two sources:

1. Standard Gboard keyboard (from Google),
2. The Mi Keyboard (from Xiaomi)

The methods of disabling them are different – so first determine which keyboard you are using.

Method 1: Turn off the sound in the keyboard settings

The most obvious way is to go into the parameters of the keyboard itself.

1. Open any field to enter text (for example, in Messages or browser).
2. Touch the gear badge (⚙️) on the keyboard panel to open its settings.
3. Select Warnings and Sounds (or Sound and Vibration depending on version).
4. Translate the slider Sound when pressed to the off position..

If you have Gboard installed, the path will be a little different: Keyboard settings → Sound when pressed → Off.

Check the version of MIUI in Settings → About Phone |

Close all background apps before changing settings|

Restart your phone if the sound doesn’t disappear after the shutdown-->

Why might this not work? In some firmware, Xiaomi hides the individual keyboard settings, and if you can't see "Push Sound," move on to the next method.

Method 2: Global shutdown of system sounds

If the keyboard's sound is not controlled through its settings, try turning off all system sounds, a radical method that removes not only the keyboard, but also other audible alerts (such as when you lock the screen).

Instructions:

1. Go to Settings. → Sound and vibration.
2. Choose Other Sounds and Vibrations.
3. Turn off the System Sounds slider.

⚠️ Warning: This method affects all audible notifications in the system. SMS Or alarm clock – it is better to return the settings back after the test.

Method 3: Reset keyboard settings to factory

Sometimes the keyboard sound gets stuck because of a setup failure, and then resetting the keyboard to factory values helps.

How to do this:

1. Open Settings → Applications → Application Management.
2. Find Gboard or Mi Keyboard (depending on the keyboard used).
3. Select Warehouse. → Clear the data.
4. Confirm the action and restart the phone.

After resetting, the keyboard will return to the standard settings, and the pressing sound will be turned off (if it was factory state), minus the method - you will have to reconfigure the dictionary and auto-replace.

Method 4: Use of the "Do Not Disturb" mode

If you need to temporarily remove the sound of your keyboard (such as in a meeting or at night), use Do Not Disturb mode. It turns off all sounds, including the keyboard, but does not affect alarms.

Activation:

• 📱 Quick way: Swipe down the notification bar and tap the Do Not Disturb icon (🔔 cross-belled).
• 🔧 Set up exceptions: Settings → Sound and vibration → Don't disturb. → Allow exceptions (only alarm clocks can be left).

This method doesn't take away sound forever, but it's convenient for short-term use, for example, if you're typing in a vehicle and you don't want to disturb people around you.

Method 5: Installation of a third-party keyboard

If none of these methods worked, consider changing the keyboard. Many alternative keyboards (like SwiftKey or Fleksy) allow you to flexibly adjust sounds or not play them at all.

How to determine:

1. Download the keyboard from Google Play Market (e.g. SwiftKey).
2. Go to Settings → System → Language and input → Virtual keyboard.
3. Activate the new keyboard and set it by default.
4. Go to the keyboard settings and turn off the sounds.

Important: Some keyboards (such as the Mi Keyboard in older versions of MIUI) can automatically turn on the sound after the system update.

What do I do if the sound is still there?

If you’ve tried all of these methods, but the keyboard still makes sounds, the problem may be deeper:

• 🔊 Conflict of topics: some topics MIUI They override system sounds. Try to return the standard theme to Settings. → Registration.
• 📱 Firmware failure: If the sound appears after the update, it may be that the firmware is not installed correctly. → The phone. → Updating the system.
• 🎵 Third-party applications: Some programs (such as launchers or optimizers) can affect sounds. Launch your phone in Safe Mode and check if the problem remains.

If neither option works, the final step is to reset your phone to factory settings. Be sure to back up your data through Settings → Additional → Backup and Reset before doing so.

💡

Before resetting, try rolling back the firmware to the previous version via the Mi Flash Tool. Downgrade instructions are available on the official Xiaomi forum.
