FreeKeyboard Sound Test — Hear & Analyze Switch Sounds Online
Free online keyboard sound test: play keyboard sound files for clicky, tactile, linear, laptop, membrane, buckling spring and old typewriter sounds, loop samples, then analyze your own keyboard by mic.
Play keyboard sound files from a dropdown, loop any sample, then use your mic to test how your own keyboard sounds — and how loud it is.
Play keyboard sound samples, loop them for longer listening, then use your microphone to analyze your keyboard's switch type, frequency spectrum and loudness

How to use the Keyboard Sound Test accurately
Free online keyboard sound test: play keyboard sound files for clicky, tactile, linear, laptop, membrane, buckling spring and old typewriter sounds, loop samples, then analyze your own keyboard by mic.
01Virtual Mechanical Keyboard Switch Tester (Sound Only)
Use this sound-only keyboard switch tester to compare clicky, tactile, linear, and thock profiles. It cannot reproduce physical feel or actuation force.
02Play Keyboard Sound Files: Mechanical, Laptop, Membrane, and Typewriter
Choose a sound from the dropdown to compare clicky Blue, tactile Brown, linear Red, silent linear, thock, creamy custom, laptop scissor, low-profile mechanical, membrane rubber-dome, Topre-style, buckling spring, vintage...
03Test 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...
04Read 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.
Yes. Use the dropdown to play clicky, tactile, linear, silent linear, thock, laptop scissor, membrane, Topre-style, buckling spring, old typewriter and other reference keyboard sound files. Turn on Loop sample if you want to listen longer.
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.
