Do you want to enable Caps Lock and Num Lock sound on your Windows 11 PC? If yes then you’re at the right place. In this Windows 11 guide, you’ll learn how to turn on caps lock sound in Windows 11.

Have you ever accidently activated the Caps Lock key while typing? Or inadvertently switched off the Num Lock key and then attempted to utilise the number keypad? There is no need to be concerned. When you hit one of these keys, Windows has an option that can inform you with a sound.

However, many times, the Caps lock is accidentally used while typing, and you are surprised to see that everything is in bold characters. It might be aggravating to have to translate everything back to small letters. This problem can also occur while using the Num Lock or Scroll Lock.

When you hit the Caps Lock, Num Lock, or Scroll Lock keys (deliberately or accidently) on Windows 10/11, the keyboard settings may be configured to play a sound. This will usually come in helpful to alert you that one of the keys has been activated, so you don’t, for example, start typing everything in capital letters or deactivate the number pad by accident.
