Keyboard Sound Test

Hear linear, tactile and clicky switch sounds, then use your mic to test how your own keyboard sounds — and how loud it is.

Play switch sounds, then use your microphone to analyze your keyboard's switch type, frequency spectrum and loudness

🔊 Play switch sounds — hear how each switch type sounds

Type to hear (press any key) Volume

Selected: Clicky (Blue)

or test your own keyboard with your mic

Instructions: Click "Start Listening", then press a key on your keyboard near your microphone. Hold the mic 10–20 cm from the board for best results.

How to use the Keyboard Sound Test accurately

Free online keyboard sound test: hear linear, tactile & clicky switch sounds, then use your mic to test your own keyboard — switch type, frequency spectrum & loudness.

01 Play Switch Sounds: Linear, Tactile, and Clicky Click any switch chip to hear it, or turn on Type to hear and press keys to play the sound on your own keyboard — no microphone needed.

02 Test and Analyze Your Own Keyboard Click "Start Listening," allow microphone access, then tap one key 10–20 cm from the mic. The tool runs a real-time FFT (Fast Fourier Transform) on the keypress, reads all 2048 frequency bins, finds the peak frequency, and...

03 Read the Sound Frequency Spectrum (1–4 kHz) The live spectrum graph plots your keyboard's sound energy from 0 to 8 kHz and highlights the 1–4 kHz band where clicky switches peak.

04 Is Your Keyboard Too Loud? Decibel Levels Explained After a keypress the loudness meter shows a Quiet, Moderate or Loud verdict with the relative dB level. Typical mechanical typing measures about 50–65 dB(A) versus a 60–65 dB(A) office target: linear switches on a desk mat...

Keyboard Sound Test FAQ

Common keyboard sound test questions

Can I hear what different switches sound like?

Yes. Use the Play switch sounds panel to hear clicky, tactile, linear and thock profiles, or turn on Type to hear to play the selected switch sound on every keypress — no microphone needed.

Can this tool identify my exact switch model?

No — the mic analyzer classifies your switch by sound profile (linear, tactile or clicky). Exact model identification needs a manual lookup; the frequency signature reveals the acoustic character, not the brand or model.

Does it show a sound frequency spectrum?

Yes. The live FFT spectrum graph plots energy from 0 to 8 kHz and highlights the 1-4 kHz band where clicky switches peak, alongside the waveform and the peak frequency in Hz for each keypress.

How loud is my keyboard in decibels?

The dB meter shows your keypress level with a Quiet, Moderate or Loud verdict. The mic is uncalibrated so it is a relative reading — typical mechanical typing is about 50-65 dB(A) versus a 60-65 dB(A) office target.

Why does it say Clicky when I have linear switches?

Plate resonance or stabilizer rattle can add high-frequency content. Press a key in the center of the board away from large stabilizers, calibrate room noise, and add case foam or lube to fix misclassification.

Is my audio data stored?

No. All playback and analysis run locally in your browser with the Web Audio API. No audio is ever uploaded, and your microphone stream is released as soon as you press Stop or leave the page.
