I suppose it is time to add white noise generation to my keyboard...

  White noise wouldn't be nearly as effective as cherry red noise.

  Perhaps the keyboard could have an internal speaker that provides carefully crafted additional noise to make the keys sound more uniform (like each-other), or to sound more random (different each time). However, if the counter-noise would get triggered first by a key press then it would not be able to mask the initial part of the key noise when the finger strikes the key surface before pressing it down. Detection using a microphone would have the risk of false positives, so maybe a new key mechanism also including capacitive touch/proximity sensors would be needed. And it would be ineffective against attacks that model key stroke patterns temporally.
