How to turn off Gboard (Google Keyboard) Sounds on Galaxy Smartphones and Tablets
The Gboard aka Google Keyboard does not come pre-installed on Samsung smartphones or tablets. So, if you already have that, we are assuming you’ve downloaded it from
Google Play Store. Gboard is popular among Android users as it supports over 900 languages, which is almost more than double what the default Samsung keyboard offers. In addition, it offers a variety of emojis, GIFs, and stickers, which are limited to the Samsung keyboard. That’s not all, the Gboard also allows real-time translation of messages, just in case you’re talking to someone in a different language. That’s why most Samsung users, including me, have enabled Google keyboards on their flagship smartphones.
That said, you will still have to turn OFF the Google keyboard sound on your Samsung smartphone or tablet. So, if you are frustrated with that annoying ticking sound while chatting with your friends over Facebook, it’s best to keep it off. We have mentioned step-by-step methods on how to turn off the sound of the Google keyboard on your

2. Go to Preferences
3. Now, toggle OFF the Sound on Keyboard under the Key Press section
Once you are done disabling the toggle button, the Google keyboard sound will be turned off. And, those ticking keypad tones won’t harm your ears anymore while typing a long text for your WhatsApp friends. It’s that simple, make sure to give it a try.

c) Why is my screen keyboard making sounds when I type on my Samsung smartphone?
It seems you have accidentally turned on the keyboard sound from the settings menu of your Galaxy smartphone. To turn off the sound while typing and get rid of tick-tick noise, you can go to Settings > Sound and Vibration > Toggle OFF the switch beside Keyboard Sound. And you’re done. That’s all you have to do and the typing noise will be muted on your Samsung smartphone.
d) How do I make my on-screen keyboard silent on a Samsung device without going to Settings?
It’s fairly simple than what we have recommended before. You have to put your phone on ‘Silent” or “Vibration” mode in order to mute the keyboard or dial-pad sound on your Samsung smartphone or tablet. However, there’s a drawback to doing that. The incoming calls, messages, or app notifications will be also muted or set to only vibrate. This can cause you to likely miss important calls or texts when the device is in your pocket or when you’re not using it. Therefore, it is best to turn off the Samsung keyboard sound from the Settings menu of the smartphone.
