I was exiting the other day and saw a post regarding these issues. Is there a way in fact to stop your avatar from going throught he typing motions and the sound of that typewriter. It simply drives me insane!

Help!

Hi, that's a great tip. But it disables both the typing sound & the typing animation. Is there a way to disable just the typing sound, but leave the animation in place?

Debug / UISndTyping

Remove that and your client wont make a sound when you type, or replace it with your own (only you will hear it tho, clientside)

If you want to replace the default type anim you could use a override script like this;
From: someone

key kOwner;
integer iPrevState;
float TRANSPARENT = 0.0;
float TYPING_CHECK_PERIOD = .2;
integer IS_NOT_TYPING = 0;
integer IS_NOT_HELD = -1;
integer IS_TYPING = AGENT_TYPING;
integer gotPermission = FALSE;
key typingAnim = "c541c47f-e0c0-058b-ad1a-d6ae3a4584d9";
string newTypingAnimation = "animhere"; //replace me with your anim

initialize()
{

kOwner = llGetOwner();

llOwnerSay("Sitter's keyboard responder initializing...";);

llSetTimerEvent(TYPING_CHECK_PERIOD);

iPrevState = IS_NOT_TYPING;

llRequestPermissions(llGetOwner(),PERMISSION_TRIGGER_ANIMATION);
}
default
{
state_entry()
{
if(llGetOwner() != kOwner)
{
initialize();
}
}
on_rez(integer total_number)
{
if(llGetOwner() != kOwner)
{
initialize();
}
}

run_time_permissions(integer _parm) {
if( _parm == (PERMISSION_TRIGGER_ANIMATION) ) {
gotPermission = TRUE;
}
}
timer()
{
integer iAttached = llGetAttached();

if(iAttached == 0)
{
if(iPrevState != IS_NOT_HELD)
{
llMessageLinked(LINK_SET, -1, "SHOWKEYBOARD", NULL_KEY);
iPrevState = IS_NOT_HELD;
}
return;
}
integer iTypingState = llGetAgentInfo(kOwner) & AGENT_TYPING;
if (iPrevState != iTypingState)
{

iPrevState = iTypingState;
if (iTypingState == 0) {
if (llListFindList(llGetAnimationList(kOwner), [newTypingAnimation])) {
llStopAnimation(newTypingAnimation);
}
} else {
if (llListFindList(llGetAnimationList(kOwner), [newTypingAnimation])) {
llStartAnimation(newTypingAnimation);
}}}}}

Good tip, I was able to easily delete the string for that damnable typing noise AND all 8 of those damnable "clunk" noises in the pie menu! always hated that stupid clunk clunk clunk sound.
