Systems and methods for suppressing sound leakage

A speaker comprises a housing, a transducer residing inside the housing, and at least one sound guiding hole located on the housing. The transducer generates vibrations. The vibrations produce a sound wave inside the housing and cause a leaked sound wave spreading outside the housing from a portion of the housing. The at least one sound guiding hole guides the sound wave inside the housing through the at least one sound guiding hole to an outside of the housing. The guided sound wave interferes with the leaked sound wave in a target region. The interference at a specific frequency relates to a distance between the at least one sound guiding hole and the portion of the housing.

Audio speaker with back volume containing adsorptive material

An audio speaker having a speaker housing surrounding a back volume that is divided into a rear cavity behind a speaker driver and an adsorption cavity separated from the rear cavity by a permeable partition, is disclosed. More particularly, the adsorption cavity may be defined between the speaker housing and the permeable partition, and may be directly filled with adsorptive particles to adsorb gas during sound generation. The permeable partition may allow the gas to flow between the rear cavity and the adsorption cavity, and may retain the adsorptive particles within the adsorption cavity. Other embodiments are also described and claimed.

Speaker box
11665472 · 2023-05-30 · ·

A speaker box includes a housing and a speaker unit accommodated in the housing. The speaker unit includes a diaphragm configured to vibrate and sound. The diaphragm is spaced from the housing to form a front sound cavity therebetween. The speaker box further includes a sound transmitting channel communicating the front sound cavity with outside. The front sound cavity and the sound transmitting channel cooperatively form a front cavity of the speaker box. A sound absorption layer is disposed at a portion of the housing facing the front cavity. The sound absorption layer includes a micro-porous structure. When the sound wave passes through the front cavity, the sound absorption layer is capable of absorbing the resonance vibration of the front cavity in high frequency, thus suppressing the amplification of the sound distortion due to the resonance vibration of the front cavity and improving the acoustic performance of the speaker box.

Pressure control in externally ducted loudspeakers

A vehicle audio system includes a loudspeaker configured to be acoustically coupled to an interior of a vehicle and to be ducted to an exterior of the vehicle as well as a controller coupled to the loudspeaker. The controller is configured to (i) detect one or more vehicle operating parameters of the vehicle that would result in a pressure differential condition between the interior and the exterior, and (ii) adjust an audio signal provided to the loudspeaker in response to detecting the vehicle operating parameters.
