Pressing some keys cause buzzing sound

I have recently noticed that pressing enter, control etc., produce a
buzzing sound. For example, if I want to find something in Google, when
I type the question and press enter, it won't let me do it but just
buzzes. I have to click on search, what is going on and how do I fix it
please.

Re: Pressing some keys cause buzzing sound

Could be as simple as crud trapped under the keys. Turn the keyboard over and give it a good shaking to dislodge the crumbs and other debris. If this is a laptop then use a little care with this step, but a normal keyboard can stand more shock. If that doesn't help, borrow another keyboard to see if the problem still exists.

Thank you Bill, it seems to have stopped so it still remains a mystery.
