Everyday, we can hear a lot of noises. Normally, when I wake up, I can’t hear anything, because it is very early in the morning. However, some days the only sound I can hear it is the wind blowing loudly.
While I am at work, I can hear my mates speaking, whispering or laughing. But when they all are quite, the only noise in the department it’s the tipping of every of us in our keyboards. And sometimes one of the telephones starts ringing.
When I am at home in the evening or night, if I pay attention I hear a lot of noises. The washing machine whirring in the kitchen…or in my neighbor’s kitchen. The swish of the water through the radiator.

But when they all are quiet, the only noise in the department is all of us tapping on our keyboards. [Again, this sounds more natural. And I presume you meant "tapping" rather than "typing", although both could work here.]
