Dual-Tone Horn Assemblies And Methods Of Use
Dual-tone horn assemblies and methods of use are disclosed herein. An example dual scroll assembly includes a nozzle having a first portion of the nozzle has a first diameter and a second portion of the nozzle has a second diameter that has a size that is different from the first diameter, a first spiraled channel that receives air from the first portion of the nozzle. The air traveling through the first spiraled channel produces a first tone at a first frequency. A divider plate is disposed between the first spiraled channel and a second spiraled channel. The second spiraled channel receives the air from the second portion of the nozzle. The air traveling through the second spiraled channel produces a second tone at a second frequency. The first tone and the second tone when produced simultaneously create a dyad.
Flow controlled sound generation apparatus
A flow controlled sound generation system is disclosed that includes one or more fluid pumps to control air flow through a sound channel. The air flow is modulated through one or more valves to produce audible frequency pressure waves.

KEYBOARD DEVICE AND MUSICAL SOUND EMISSION METHOD
A keyboard device and a musical sound emission method are provided. A top lid is formed into a hollow structure including a lower plate and an upper plate facing the lower plate. Since vibrating bodies are fixed to an inner surface of the lower plate, the vibrating bodies can cause the lower plate to vibrate and thereby emit musical sound generated through the vibration from an outer surface side of the lower plate to the outside. On the other hand, the musical sound emitted from an inner surface side of the lower plate is blocked by the upper plate, and it is thus possible to curb mutual cancelation of musical sound in opposite phases emitted from each of the inner surface and the outer surface of the lower plate. Therefore, it is possible to efficiently emit musical sound to the surroundings of the top lid.
Feedback control for display as sound emitter
Aspects of the disclosure relate to using a display as a sound emitter and may relate to an electronic device including a display. In particular a vibration sensor such as an accelerometer is physically coupled to the display and senses display vibration to provide a high accuracy feedback loop with respect to representing actual audio output from the display. The electronic device includes an actuator physically coupled to the display and configured to cause vibration of the display in response to an audio signal. The electronic device further includes a vibration sensor physically coupled to the display and configured to output a vibration sensor signal proportional to the vibration of the display due to the actuator.
Sound producing device
A sound producing device includes a first sound producing cell, driven by a first driving signal and configured to produce a first acoustic sound on a first audio band, and a second sound producing cell, driven by a second driving signal and configured to produce a second acoustic sound on a second audio band different from the first audio band. A first membrane of the first sound producing cell and a second membrane of the second sound producing cell are Micro Electro Mechanical System fabricated membranes. The first audio band is upper bounded by a first maximum frequency; the second audio band is upper bounded by a second maximum frequency. A first resonance frequency of the first membrane is higher than the first maximum frequency of the first driving signal. A second resonance frequency of the second membrane is higher than the second maximum frequency of the second driving signal.
