Swype

1.Press and then touch > Settings > Language and input.

2.Touch next to Swype to configure these options:

•Sound on keypress: Play sounds for your Swype touches.

•Long-press delay: A “long press” is a touch-and-hold gesture you can use on multi-function keys to display a menu of alternate characters. The long-press delay sets the length of time Swype will measure to distinguish a long press from a regular key press.
