Interestingly, my qwerty keyboard on the Braille Note is one of the quietest keyboards I have heard. My IBM, although not loud is a lot noisier than this keyboard. Now I heard a demo of something at csun on acb radio and someone was taking notes with a Brailler Style bn right next to the microphone and I have a musical ear so I pick up sounds more accutely than the average person so Here I am sitting listening to Mr. Somebody or other give this demo on xyz marvelous machine do it all for the blind and all I can hear is this clackety clack of this bn Brailler style keyboard going. That is, in actuality one of the major reasons why I did not buy the Brailler Style keyboard.
