Click sounds

Open the Pointer tab (⌘8) and pick a Sound under Clicks, such as Soft or Trackpad. More settings › Click sounds has more sounds, the volume and other moments.

Many screen recordings are silent when you click. A quiet click sound helps viewers follow along.

Click Pointer in the tabs on the right, or press ⌘8.
Under Clicks, pick a Sound: Soft, Crisp or Trackpad. Off turns them off.
For more choices, open More settings › Click sounds: Soft, Crisp, Trackpad, Studio, Glass, Mechanical or Whisper, and the Volume.

The Sound tab (⌘5) has a Clicks row too, for the volume next to your other sound.

Which moments make a sound

Turn each one on or off:

Right click and Double click.
Drag and drop: a soft pick-up when a drag starts and a drop when it ends.
Scroll: light ticks while scrolling.
Hover a link: a soft tone when the pointer turns into a hand over a link or button.
Fast move: a quiet air sound when the pointer flies across the screen.

Dip under speech makes the sounds a little quieter while someone speaks.

Your own sounds

Under Your own sounds, choose a sound file for any moment instead of the built-in one. Up to two seconds of it are played.
