Check the volume. Play a short song or sound. But before that, turn the volume down to almost none. If it's fine, and can't be heard from outside, then you're safe. Headphones will also work; make sure the sound doesn't leak before listening to music or watching videos.
Keep a book near you, preferably one that your parents have seen you deeply interested in.
Replace your chair. If your chair is one of those swivel chairs that creak when you turn or lean back, try to find a normal stool or regular chair.
Don't lift your fingers up when typing. Just slide your fingers across the keyboard. It's good to have an ergonomic keyboard in this case. You will find that it's much quieter. However, if you don't have an ergonomic keyboard, cover the keyboard with a small piece of cloth to over the sound of typing.
Click with care. When clicking with your mouse, press your whole thumb on the side of the buttons on the mouse. Then, click with the base of your clicking finger, so the tip of your finger hangs off the top of the mouse.
Don't whisper or talk. Do not underestimate the hearing of parents. Put away any cellphones or anything that might make a loud sound.
Do not open the door. Make sure that the door is closed and locked. If you cannot lock your door, barricade it with a heavy object, like a table.
