According to certain embodiments, an electronic device comprises a microphone configured to acquire a signal including a voice signal and noise signal; a speaker; a memory; and a processor, wherein the processor is configured to: receive the signal from the microphone, wherein the signal corresponds to a plurality of predetermined frequency bands; identify portions of the signal corresponding to a first band and a second band of the plurality of frequency bands; calculate a signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) values for each predetermined frequency band, based on the signal; obtain a first parameter for correcting the portion of the signal corresponding to the first band and a second parameter for correcting the portion of the signal corresponding to the second band, based on the calculated SNR values for the first band and the second band; and apply the first parameter and the second parameter to each of the predetermined frequency bands.

The present disclosure provides an acoustic output apparatus including one or more status sensors, at least one low-frequency acoustic driver, at least one high-frequency acoustic driver, at least two first sound guiding holes, and at least two second sound guiding holes. The status sensors may detect status information of a user. The low-frequency acoustic driver may generate at least one first sound, a frequency of which is within a first frequency range. The high-frequency acoustic driver may generate at least one second sound, a frequency of which is within a second frequency range including at least one frequency exceeding the first frequency range. The first and second sound guiding holes may output the first and second spatial sound, respectively. The first and second sound may be generated based on the status information, and may simulate a target sound coming from at least one virtual direction with respect to the user.

A speaker device incorporating acoustic meta materials for sound diffraction reduction wherein the meta materials have a plurality of channels to dampen sound waves. Meta materials are applied to the speaker unit, serve as structural components of a speaker baffle, waveguide, and/or cone. The meta materials have openings in them to permit sound waves to enter and positioned at the edges of the speaker cabinet to prevent sound waves from re-radiating and interfering with the sound waves intended for the listener.

Techniques are described for an in-ear audio system that delivers high quality sound into an ear canal of the user using two or more waveguides. Each of the waveguides may deliver sound output by individual drivers to a consolidation zone. The sound may be mixed at the consolidation zone and delivered to the ear canal of the user.

A sound system includes a seat including a seatback having a first dipole subwoofer, a second dipole subwoofer, a first speaker, and a second speaker; and a seat bottom having a third speaker. The first dipole subwoofer, the second dipole subwoofer, the first speaker, the second speaker, and/or the third speaker may be configured to receive audio signals from a receiver and provide sound corresponding to the audio signals toward an occupant position of the seat. The third speaker may be directed toward the seat back. The first dipole subwoofer, the second dipole subwoofer, the first speaker, the second speaker, and/or the third speaker may be configured to provide a sound zone for said occupant that facilitates (i) hearing of the sound by said occupant, and/or (ii) limiting transmission of the sound beyond the seat.

A headphone arrangement includes two earphones, wherein each earphone comprises a housing encompassing a low-frequency transducer and an array of at least three high-frequency transducers. The low-frequency transducer of each earphone is disposed on or over an ear canal of a user when the earphone is worn by the user, and is configured to broadcast low-frequency sound that corresponds to low-frequency components of an input signal. The array of at least three high frequency transducers of each array are configured to broadcast high-frequency sound that corresponds to high-frequency components of the input signal, and the array of at least three high frequency transducers of each array is disposed adjacent to the low-frequency transducer and in a lower rostral quadrant of a full circle around the low-frequency transducer when the earphone is worn by the user.

A display apparatus is disclosed. The display apparatus includes a display, a speaker, and a processor configured to acquire location information of the display apparatus inside a modular display apparatus including a plurality of display apparatuses, change an output set value of the speaker based on the location information, and control the speaker to output a sound signal received from an external apparatus based on the changed output set value, wherein the external apparatus includes at least one of another display apparatus adjacent to the display apparatus among the plurality of display apparatuses or a source apparatus.
