Certain aspects of the present disclosure provide an apparatus. The apparatus comprises a support structure comprising at least one microphone sensor, and a first material layer disposed adjacent to the support structure, wherein a first layer of air is formed between the first material layer and the support structure, the first layer of air being adjacent to the microphone sensor. In certain aspects, multiple material layers may be used, each of the material layers forming a layer of air. For instance, the apparatus may also include a second material layer disposed adjacent to the first material layer, wherein a second layer of air is formed between the first material layer and the second material layer.

An image capture device includes a housing having a lens snout protruding from a front housing surface. A front microphone is mounted below the lens snout. A top microphone is mounted under a top housing surface. The top microphone is positioned to receive direct freestream air flow at a first pitched forward angle. The front microphone is positioned to receive turbulent air flow at a second pitched forward angle. The second pitched forward angle is greater than or equal to the first pitched forward angle. An audio processor receives a first audio signal and a second audio signal from the top microphone and front microphone, respectively. The audio processor generates frequency sub-bands from the first and second audio signals. The audio processor selects the frequency sub-bands with the lowest noise metric and combines them to generate an output audio signal.

Microphone signals are received from microphones of a computer device. Each microphone signal of the microphone signals is acquired by a respective microphone of the microphones. A previously unselected microphone is selected from the microphones as a reference microphone, which generates a reference microphone signal. An adaptive filter is used to create, based on microphone signals of the microphones other than the reference microphone, predicted microphone signals for the reference microphone. Based on the predicted microphone signals for the reference microphone, an enhanced microphone signal is outputted for the reference microphone. The enhanced microphone signal may be used as microphone signal for the reference microphone in subsequent audio processing operations.

A sensor includes a housing having a accommodating room, a flexible plate provided in the accommodating room and moveable to induce a medium pressure change in the accommodating room, and a pressure sensing component for sensing the pressure change. The pressure sensing component and the flexible plate are assembled and moveable together. In the sensor of the present invention, after an external signal to be sensed is transmitted to the sensor, the flexible plate moves to induce air disturbances, and then the pressure sensing component receives a pressure change induced by the air disturbances and performs signal sensing. Compared with the conventional sound sensor, the sensor of the present invention provides no opening communicating with the external environment. Therefore, the impact of foreign objects, noise and other environmental factors on the sensor can be avoided, and the signal generated by the object not to be sensed can be effectively reduced.

The present disclosure discloses an acoustic device. The acoustic device may include a hanger assembly, at least one of an audio input component or an audio output component, a control circuit assembly, and a protection assembly. The hanger assembly may include a shell forming a space. The control circuit assembly may include one or more circuit boards arranged in the space. The protection assembly may include a protection plate. The protection plate may be arranged in the space and physically connected with the shell of the hanger assembly to form a protection barrier between at least one of the one or more circuit boards and the shell.

A wind noise reduction system includes a delay and sum (DAS) beamformer, an MVDR beamformer, a wind detector, a GEV beamformer, and a fixed voice mixer. The DAS beamformer generates a first voice signal based on a first and second microphone signal. The MVDR beamformer generates a second voice signal based on the first and second microphone signals. The GEV beamformer generates a wind array voice signal based on the first and second microphone signals and an accelerometer signal. The wind detector generates a wind detection signal based on the first voice signal and the second voice signal. The fixed voice mixer generates an output voice signal based on a microphone array voice signal, the wind array voice signal, and the wind detector signal. If high winds are detected, the output voice signal includes elements of the wind array voice signal based in part on the accelerometer signal.

Provided is a vehicle-mounted sound processing device for improving the accuracy of processing of sounds collected in a vehicle interior room. The vehicle-mounted sound processing device comprises: a microphone module disposed in the vehicle interior room; and a head-unit disposed separately from the microphone module in the vehicle interior room. The microphone module comprises: a plurality of sound conversion elements that convert input voice signals to electric signals; and a sensitivity correction unit that corrects variations of sensitivity between the plurality of sound conversion elements for the signals input from the plurality of sound conversion elements. The signals as processed by the sensitivity correction unit are output to the head-unit.

An audio device includes a microphone, a sound canal allowing sound to pass from the surroundings to the microphone, a signal path from the microphone to a receiver, and a current source, such that sounds received at the microphone may be enhanced and presented at the ear level of the user. A protection screen is provided at the sound canal, and includes a first surface which faces the surroundings and a second surface which faces the sound canal, and defines a slit-formed opening between the first surface and the second surface. The curvature between the first surface and the slit-formed opening is smooth and gradual, and a sharp edge is located at the transition between the second surface and the slit-formed opening.
