Planar speaker with damping to reduce noise
11240604 · 2022-02-01 · ·

In some examples, a computing device may include one or more planar speakers. Individual planar speakers may include damping material adhered to either a top surface of a front pole or a bottom surface of a cone. The damping material may reduce a noise caused by the cone hitting the front pole (e.g., when reproducing loud passages in media content) to an inaudible (e.g., 30 db or less) level. The noise may be reduced by up to 35 decibels between about 250 Hertz to about 450 Hertz. The damping material may comprise a polyurethane foam and may have a height of between about 0.1 millimeters to about 1.0 millimeters and preferably about 0.2 millimeters.

Technologies are provided for microelectromechanical microphones that can be robust to substantial pressure changes in the environment in which the micromechanical microphones operate. In some embodiments, a microelectromechanical microphone device can include a rigid plate defining multiple openings that permit passage of a pressure wave. The microelectromechanical microphone device also includes a stiffener member integrated into the rigid plate. The stiffener member causes stress to be distributed within the rigid plate in response to the pressure wave inducing deformation of the rigid plate.
