How many voices does this have and do the keys make unwanted noise?

250 different "sounds" or instruments, but it excels at the piano sound. I am not crazy about the others. It has 128 notes of polyphony, which is good, but somewhere around 200 would be ideal for advanced players if you don't want some sustained notes to drop out during complex pieces. As far as key noise, there is a little, but not noticeable unless you have on headphones, and others are just listening to "key noise". Not really a problem. Overall I give it a 7 of 10, but if I were to do it again, would probably spend more on a more advanced keyboard without all the superfluous bells and whistles.

It's moderate in noise. Probably less than MS kb but not by much.Edit: After sitting down and using it I would say it's just a tad quieter than the MS keyboards, not as loud as the old (and well loved by me) IBM keyboards from the early 90's. It certainly would be annoying still in a library if you're a quick typist, say 60+ wpm.Also, I can confirm I have to move it between USB ports when it goes missing, about 2x a month as other people have mentioned in reviews.

There are six sounds that run throughout the time, then just quit. Rain, ocean, bird song, summer night, heartbeat, brook. I find the sounds harsh and annoying, as there is no volume control. Even though it's advertised as a mediation timer, it really isn't. I'm sorry I bought it.

I'll add to the others who commented on the quietness of the keyboard. It's the only keyboard I've used that is at least as quiet as my Dell laptop's keyboard. Others have frequently commented on the sound of my typing on other keyboards (like the Logitech MK520, which is much louder), but I haven't heard anything at all with this one.

It makes normal mouse sounds. But if you're looking to open it up to dampen the sound, this uses the square/cubic switches which you can't silence.

I would say the keys are fairly quiet. Not loud like the cheap keyboards you find else where. It's a great work or school laptop just kind of big

The sounds are as described by the last answerer. There are not that many, but you can mix any two of them at once (and split the keyboard additionally) to get some good layered sounds. You can also alter the ambience and reverb to further refine the sounds. All sounds are good, the pianos (which is really what most of use the keyboard for) are quite good. The lack of choices of sounds is a positive aspect in my opinion. You turn it on and just start to play, as opposed to fiddling with a hundred settings, as I find myself doing on my Motif XF. If you need more sounds, the unit has Midi USB and DIN functionality, so the sonic possibilities are endless as a midi controller. The sounds are as described by the last answerer.

Its pretty close to our laptop key board... can't really say. I personally like clicking/typing noise and I kind a think its not loud...

It has ten voices... one grand piano in stereo, one grand piano in mono, two electric pianos, two pipe organs, two harpsichords, one strings, and one vibraphones. The sounds, in general, are excellent, but it's the grand piano that makes this keyboard really shine in my opinion.

It's not like a mechanical keyboard, but it does make a "click clacky" sound. It's a nice sound in my opinion, it wasn't that bad.

I don't know off the top of my head the number of keys on the keyboard. It is comfortable to use...I got used to less real estate on the keyboard. Trade off is that it's compact and light weight.

If I'm understanding correctly, it has 489 voices, from the grand piano to start with, up to a variety of percussion. In between are all musical instruments, strings, variety or organ and piano styles, plus some non musical voices such as footsteps, fireworks, etc. More options than I could ever use. Sounds are right on according to my ear!

Good question. My daughter has had hers for a few months and there is no way she has 40 different sounds and phrases.

I have 4 different keyboards in the office, one is very quiet - the other 3 the same. The Impecca keystroke noise would be considered typical.

No, it does not. A full 88 key board has more sound effects. This one works good for me. This is a cheaper keyboard. You get what you pay for.

Keyboard keys are okay - but the mouse click sound is too loud. Not impressed.

Yes,you can mute the key volume.That would get a little annoying at time's.
