Annoying sound when typing - How to fix it!

Question

As delivered, the Powerbooks make annoying sounds for each keypress when you're typing. This is actually a twofold problem, so you may have to do two things to fix it.
1. If your Book is running a non-English version of the OS, each keypress will cause audible harddrive head motion. This is caused by some bug that actually prints two error messages to a certain system log file for each and every keypress!!! This is fixed by (a) enabling the root user (using the NetInfo Manager utility), and (b) setting the keyboard layout for the root user to 'U.S.' (not 'U.S. extended'). This MAY have been fixed by a system update by now (I haven't checked), but if it hasn't, you'll know what to do!
2. There is also a chirping sound for each keypress. This must be caused by poor logic board design, since it ocurs whenever there is a power surge from the processor. The fix is to disable processor 'nap', something that unfortunately must be done after each reboot. To do this, you must install the Processor PreferencePane, which can be found in the CHUD tools dowloadable from Apple's developer site. The Processor PrefPane is in there somewhere in the CHUD files, but you have to dig around **inside** the packages to find it! Once you do, drop it in Library/Preference Panes and find it in System Preferences. Disable 'nap' and you're done, until you reboot anyway.
Finally, you can type without annoyance!

hi sub2013,
Thank for using Lenovo Community Forums!
Try Going to the Device setting of your touchpad,
   Go to Control Panel > Hardware and sound / Mouse
Under mouse properties, on top the last tab should be the settings tab of your touchpad it's either Synaptics or Elan,
click the device on the list then click on settings.
Spoiler (Highlight to read)
Now you will have the device settings interface
try looking for two option,
One is sensitivity Try reducing it,
and the other will be Palm Check Move the bar and check works for you.
You can also try downloading a driver from synaptics http://www.synaptics.com/resources/drivers
see if that works. make sure to un-install the old one first before installing a new one.
Hope this helps,
Cheers!
