I've a
couple of text editors and word processors over the
years that mimicked the sounds of a typewriter. I believe the ROM
based word processor on the Coleco Adam does it and I seem to recall
a program for the Amiga that did it as well.
Fortunately, a pair of wire cutters will silence the speaker and remove
this annoying misfeature....
It's kind of novel for the first couple of seconds, but
you're correct, it gets annoying really, really fast....
