Thats how I did it in Python:

------------------------------------------------------------------------
#!/usr/bin/python
import sys
import subprocess

soundfile = 'typewriter-key-1.wav'

def main():
    window_id = sys.argv[1]
    cmd = ['xev', '-id', window_id]

    p1 = subprocess.Popen(cmd, stdout=subprocess.PIPE)
    while True:
        line = p1.stdout.readline()
        if line.find('KeyPress event') > -1:
            subprocess.Popen(['aplay', soundfile],stderr=open('/dev/null','w'))

if __name__ == '__main__':
    main()
----------------------------------------------------------------------

I don't remember where I got the typewriter-key-1.wav file from.

It's amusing for about 30 seconds.... ;)
