Step by step

1. 

   Open Sound and vibration

   Open Settings and tap Sound and vibration: Volume and haptics.

   Done

2. 

   Scroll to System sounds and vibrations

   Scroll to the bottom of the page, past Live Caption, Adaptive Sound, Media and Clear Calling. The last section is System sounds and vibrations.

   Done

3. 

   Turn off Tap and click sounds

   Tap the Tap and click sounds switch, the fourth one. It turns dark with an X. It was on on ours.

   Done

4. 

   Turn off the other sounds

   Above it are Dial pad tones, Screen locking sound and Charging sounds and vibration, all on on ours. Turn off the ones you don't want. We left them on.

   Done

5. 

   Turn it back on

   To undo it, tap the Tap and click sounds switch again. It shows a tick. We did this straight after.

   Done

If you do not see this option

• No Touch sounds row? On our Pixel 10a with Android 17 it is called Tap and click sounds, the fourth switch under System sounds and vibrations.
• Looking for keyboard clicks? This section has no keyboard switch. Google's Pixel help puts Keyboard vibration under Sound and vibration, Vibration and haptics. We did not check the keyboard app's own sound setting. Source: Change volume, sound & vibrate settings on your Pixel phone or Pixel Tablet
• What is the last switch? Always show icon when in vibrate mode. It shows an icon, it makes no sound. It was off on ours.

If this does not work

• Still hear the dial pad? Dial pad tones is a separate switch, the first one under System sounds and vibrations.
• A sound when you lock the phone? That is Screen locking sound, the second switch in the same section.
• Sound or buzz when you plug in the charger? Charging sounds and vibration covers both. It is the third switch; it was on on ours. Source: Change volume, sound & vibrate settings on your Pixel phone or Pixel Tablet

About this guide

Google's Pixel help puts touch, charging and screen lock sounds in one section at the bottom of Sound and vibration. On our Pixel the touch sound switch is called Tap and click sounds.

The screenshots are from our Google Pixel 10a with Android 17 (build CP3A.261005.005), in Dark mode. We turned Tap and click sounds off and back on, and left the other switches on. We did not test how the phone sounds with it off.

Good to know

Change how the phone vibrates: change vibration and haptics on a Pixel. Pick a quieter alert: change the notification sound.

On a Xiaomi phone these switches are under Additional settings: turn off keyboard and touch sounds on a Xiaomi phone.

In short: Settings, Sound and vibration, bottom: Tap and click sounds off. Dial pad, lock and charging sounds are next to it.
