Why does Xiaomi phone make sounds when typing?

Keystroke audio is a standard MIUI feature that is enabled by default on all Xiaomi, Redmi, POCO and Black Shark smartphones, and has been added to improve tactile feedback: clicks help users “feel” the touchscreen taps, but over time, the sound becomes irritating — especially in public or at night.

Depending on the model and version MIUI (12, 13, 14 or 15) the path to settings may be different. for example, on Xiaomi 13 Pro with the MIUI 15 keyboard sound menu hidden deeper than Redmi Note 10 MIUI 12.5. also sound can come not only from the system keyboard Gboard or Xiaomi Keyboard, but also from third-party applications (for example, WhatsApp or WhatsApp). VK), which have their own settings.

In this article, we’ll look at all the possible ways to turn off the sound, from basic settings to hidden settings for power users. If you don’t know what version of MIUI you have, check it out in Settings → About Phone → MIUI version.

Method 1: Turn off the sound in the settings of the system keyboard

The easiest method is to use standard keyboard settings. It works on 90% of Xiaomi models, including the Redmi 9A, POCO X5, Xiaomi 12T and newer devices.

Instructions:

  1. Open any application where the keyboard appears (such as Messages or Notes).
  2. Touch the gear badge (⚙️) on the keyboard to open its settings.
  3. Go to the section Sounds and vibration (or keyboard settings → Sound).
  4. Turn off the sliders: 🔊 Keystroke sound 🎵 Sound effects (if any)

If you have Google’s Gboard keyboard installed, the path will be different: Gboard Settings → Sound when pressed → Off..

If the keyboard’s sound is not turned off through its settings, you can block all system sounds – but this is a radical method, since it will also remove notifications, alarms and other alerts.

On some models (such as the Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra), MIUI 13 has a hidden option to turn off interface sounds, which removes all system clicks but leaves notifications. To find it, type "interface sound" into the settings search.

Method 3: Using the Developer Mode

If standard methods don't work, you can use the developer mode, which will help turn off the sounds at the system level, but you need to be careful - the wrong changes can disrupt the phone.

Steps:

  1. Activate Developer Mode: Go to Settings → About Phone. Click 7 times on the MIUI Version until the “You’re a Developer” notification appears.
