Typewriters are a feast for the senses, including hearing of course. The sound you can make as you are pounding away on your Olympia creating your magnificent octopus will be epic.

It wasn't always like that of course, old skool computer keyboards like the keyboard on the Volker-Craig VC404 terminal were louder than God. My Mac mini has a loud-ish Tecknet mechanical keyboard which just about does the job. Though if you want to type as loudly as the Lord intended well you know the answer...
