About these typing sounds, uses and license
A short burst of real typewriter keystrokes, three to eight keys with uneven gaps like a person typing. A quarter of the variations end with the carriage bell. Every press of New in the editor brews a different typing; these 12 are a fixed selection so the links stay the same.
Good for
- Dialogue text appearing letter by letter
- Terminals, hacking and computers
- Letters, reports and notes
- Name entry screens
Tweaking tip
For text that types itself, play a short variation every few characters instead of one per letter. Open any variant with Edit to change it with sliders.

Generate them from code or an AI agent
The same sounds are available from the command line:
npx sfxbrew typing --count 5 --out assets/sfx/typing.wav
Or let Claude Code, Cursor or any MCP client add them to your project, then ask for "typing sounds":
claude mcp add sfxbrew -- npx -y sfxbrew mcp
