How to remove the sound of buttons on the phone Xiaomi: 5 ways to MIUI 12, 13 and 14

The button-clicking sounds on Xiaomi smartphones can be annoying — especially if you’re actively using the keyboard, playing or switching between apps frequently. By default, MIUI plays system sounds when touching on-screen buttons, locking/unlocking the device, and even typing. Fortunately, you can turn them off in a few steps — both through standard settings and using hidden features.

In this article, we will discuss 5 working methods, including:

• 🔕 Disabling sounds through basic settings MIUI
• 🎛️ Use of the MIUI Hidden Settings for deep customization
• 📱 Resetting sound parameters to factory (if previous methods did not work)
• 🛠️ Solving problems when sounds come back after reboot

The instructions are relevant for all modern models, from the Redmi Note 12 to the flagship Xiaomi 14, as well as for MIUI 12, 13 and 14 firmware (including global and Chinese versions). If your phone runs on POCO Launcher or custom firmware, some menu items may differ - we will mention this too.

1. Standard disabling button sounds in MIUI settings

The easiest way is to use the built-in MIUI options, which is suitable for most users and does not require the installation of additional applications.

1. Open the Settings app** (the gear icon on the desktop).
2. Go to the Sound and Vibration section (some models may call it Sound).
3. Scroll down to the System Sounds block** and click on it.
4. Turn off the sliders: 🔊 Touch sound – responsible for clicking when pressing the screen 🔐 Lock/Unlock Sound – Signals when the screen is turned on/off 📝 Type-in audio – keyboard clicks (if Gboard or Gboard is used) MIUI Keyboard)

After this, all system button sounds will be turned off, but the vibration will remain active (it can be turned off separately in the same section).If you do not have the right points, then your version of MIUI will use a different path (see the next section).

2. Deep customization via MIUI Hidden Settings (for power users)

If standard settings do not give the desired result (for example, sounds remain in some applications), you can use the hidden menu MIUI Hidden Settings. This method requires activation of the developer mode, but allows you to point-off even those sounds that are not normally available in the interface.

Here's the step-by-step instruction:

1. Activate Developer Mode: Go to Settings → About Phone. Click 7 times in a row on the MIUI Version (you will be notified "You are a developer").
2. Return to the main settings menu and open a new Developer section (usually at the bottom of the list).
3. Find the MIUI Hidden Settings option (if not, install the same app from Google Play).
4. In the "System Sounds" section, disable: 🎵 Touch sound (touch sound) 🔒 Lock/unlock sound (locking/unlocking) ⌨️ Keyboard sound (keyboard) 📴 Screen recording sound (screen recording sound if disturbed)

Important! After the changes to Hidden Settings, restart your phone to make sure the settings are correct. If the sounds are back, check if the sliders have reset (sometimes after the MIUI update).

3. disable keyboard sounds (Gboard, MIUI Keyboard, SwiftKey)

MIUI system settings don't always control the sounds of third-party keyboards. If the sound and click vibrations remain after the menu sounds are turned off, the problem lies in the settings of the keyboard itself.

If you use another keyboard (like Fleksy or Chroom), look for similar options in its settings, usually in the Sound & Vibration or Preferences section.

💡

To quickly open the keyboard settings, press the gear icon (⚙️) On the keyboard panel – this will work for most applications.

4. Resetting the sound settings to factory (if the sounds returned)

Sometimes, after updating MIUI or resetting your phone, the button sounds turn on automatically. If previous methods have not worked, try resetting the sound settings to factory:

1. Open the Settings. → Sound and vibration.
2. In the upper right corner, press three dots (⋮) and select "Reset settings»**.
3. Confirm the action (this won’t affect your files or apps, just the sound settings).

After resetting, all sounds (including alarms and notifications) will return to standard values. You will have to turn off unnecessary ones again, but this is guaranteed to remove all the "glitch" with the system signals.

💡

Resetting sound settings does not affect the melodies of alarm clocks and notifications – they will have to be adjusted separately.

5.Why do button sounds come back after the reboot?

Some Xiaomi users are faced with a problem: the button sounds are turned off, but after a reboot or update, MIUI is turned on again.

⚠️ Attention, if your phone is working MIUI 14 with HyperOS, some system sounds can be controlled through Media Storage. Disabling this service will cause gallery problems - don't do it!

Safe ways to fix the settings:

• 🔄 Cleaning the Settings app cache: Go to Settings → Annexes → App management. Find the Settings app** and select Clear cache.

Use of Automate or Tasker:

Tasker

Profile: Loading the device → Task: Execute ADB- the command "settings put global touch_sound 0"

Manual editing of system files (for advanced ones):

Root Explorer

ADB

/system/media/audio/ui

unlocked

If the problem persists, check if the phone has an app like SoundAssistant or Good Lock installed (they can override system settings).

6.Alternative methods: Disabling sounds via ADB

For users who aren’t afraid of the command line, there’s a way to turn off button sounds forever – via Android Debug Bridge (ADB), a method that works even on phones without root rights, but requires a computer connection.

Here's what we need to do:

1. Install. ADB-Drivers on PC and enable debugging by USB on the phone (Settings) → For developers → Debugging by USB).
2. Connect Xiaomi to your computer and type in the terminal (or PowerShell): adb shell settings put global touch_sound 0 adb shell settings put global lock_screen_sound 0 adb shell settings put global keyboard_sound 0
3. Reboot the phone.

These commands will turn off Android system-level sounds, and they won't reset after updates.To get the sounds back, replace 0 with 1 in commands.

💡

If ADB doesn’t recognize the device, try reinstalling Xiaomi drivers or using Mi PC Suite to connect correctly.
