    i get a system beep when i type 2 letters sequentially too fast (or too close together in time). For example, i type the word "sound" pretty fast when i get up to the "un" part and i get a system beep. i do not get it if i follow the exact same keystrokes slowly.

    If you want to try and repeat how i type "sound" with my exact keystrokes it is:
    "s" with the left hand middle finger
    "o" with the right hand ring finger
    "u" with the right hand middle finger
    "n" with the right hand pointer finger
    and
    "d" with the left hand pointer finger
    The beeps aren't limited to the combination "u-n" though. i also get it between 2 other letters when i type too fast.

    if this is normal, is there a way i can turn off the system beeps?

    now, what was the PURPOSE of those beeps in the first place? is it to tell the user to SLOW DOWN their typing?
