Digital piano and its own concerto

[stormx]

Hi 

i have a CASIO digital piano (PRIVIA PX-300).
The sound, and the action are good. My only complain is about its key noise 

When i play at a fast tempo, the keys make their own concert CLINK, CLANK, CLACK, PING, PONG...

It is really annoying, and i often end up playing trough headphones in order to not listen to the keys's noise. It becomes a pleasure to play this way, but it is not the idea, after all   

I did not play on many pianos, so i cannot determine whether this is unavoidable or not. Perhaps i am oversensitive, but who knows...

What do you think?
On the other hand, do digital pianos have more key noise than acoustic?

PD: technical service say the noise level is normal, but i am not sure.

 Hey, I have the same problem with my Yamaha Digital piano (CLP-110). The keys make some kind of wood noise, which sometimes makes me mad. It is supposed to be a sound replica of the Yamaha Concert Grand, but it really disappointed me. The sound loudness is limited, and when I play for example the Prelude in G minor by Rachmaninoff, I try to increase the sound, but the only sound that increases is the knocking of the keys on wood. My piano sounded a lot better when it was on wood floor, now on carpet, it lost some of its power. Some of the keys, after much playing, started to make vibrations while going down... I deslike headphones, on my piano makes the sound weak, and it gives me a headache pretty fast. It is a good piano for studying, but its limited sound range makes it weak.

At least a wood noise, i suppose, is preferable over the CLICK i hear when keys are suddenly released !!! (the noise comes, i beleive, from the vibration of the key when regaining its top position).

About headphones, i agree with you that it is not ideal to play trough them 
But, in my case, i actually have a better and more powerful sound trough them than from the built-in piano speakers 
Do you have good headphones? My first were very cheap, and the sound was according to the money 
After that, i have changed for a better (and more expensive) model, and the sound is very good.

The keys on my piano do have their own concert, and once I tried to use the headphones so that my brother didn't wake up, he woke up and started screaming: What is that banging clicking noise? I woke him up anyway with the key's sound, it went all the way across the hall...
 My headphones are pretty good, they are one of those big studio ones, made by SONY. The sound on every headphone I use is the same, and it is a very clear, but also a very disturbing squeaky sound... The last time I used it was when I was practicing Chopin's "Octaves" Etude, after about 2 hours of practicing, I had an extremely bad headache.

 I don't think acoustic pianos make more key noise than digital ones at all. I removed the actions of 3 different acoustic pianos (upright) that I owned previously, an 1850's Pleyel, a Boyen piano from Germany, and my favorite piano, an Essenfelder from Brazil. All of them had very silent noises, maybe because of the felt pads on the keybed...
