Why do my keys make different sounds?

I was just realizing, as I'm typing away...that the keys on my keyboard (the letters) make differnt noises. Why is that, do you suppose?


I thought maybe it was how often they are used, since my keyboard is 3 years old (MSinternetKBpro) ...

My keyboard is quite new, and I have the same situation here.. I think the sound of each button depends on
-the angle you're pressing the buttons..
-and the location of the letters: if they're closer to the borders the noise is kinda louder, and probably the frequency (or the pitch) is a little higher..

I've got a year old keyboard and they all soudn the same. My old keyboard made different sounds depending on how often they were used. I'm gonna say wear and tear of the keys.
