Origin and reuse
Who recorded these sounds?
IBM M2 sound is credited to Anonimski, and Computer mouse single click to Darklanlan. Both creators dedicated their recordings under CC0 1.0. See each source page for its creator's statement and recording details.
The WAVs are 16-bit PCM conversions of the Commons OGG files for editing compatibility. Converting a lossy recording to WAV cannot restore lost detail. The file notice contains format details and checksums. CC0 applies to these recordings, not unrelated site content.
Place the cue
Use typing and click sounds in an edit
- Preview both recordings at a comfortable level. The keyboard clip is a short typed sequence; the mouse clip is a single action, not a continuous typing loop.
- Import the WAV or supported OGG into your editor. Align clicks or key presses with visible actions where appropriate, and set their level beneath dialogue.
- Trim around a useful event and use short fades at cut boundaries to avoid unintended clicks. Neither recording is guaranteed to loop seamlessly.
- Check the exported scene, especially repeated clicks and speech overlap. Keep the original file for revisions.
To prepare a shorter selection, use the free audio trimmer with a supported file. The browser soundboard can audition local clips, but does not automatically route audio into a call or recording. Files do not transfer automatically between tools.
Need to remove keyboard noise instead?
These files add sound to an edit. To reduce unwanted typing in an existing recording, see how to reduce keyboard noise and compare microphone placement, editing and isolation.
If you have permission to use a mixed recording, the sound effect extractor can estimate an audible source. Other sounds may remain or the desired clicks may change; AI WAV downloads require an account and credits. For other ready-to-use recordings, preview door sounds or footsteps.
Common questions
Can I use these recordings commercially?
Both creators dedicated their recordings under CC0. Check the linked source statements and rights for other material in your project.
Do these sounds change my computer's keyboard?
No. They are audio files for editing or playback; they do not install a system-wide typing sound.
Is the WAV higher quality than the OGG?
No. It is a PCM conversion for editing compatibility and cannot restore detail lost in the OGG source.
