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.

An audio system for a headset includes a plurality of speakers and an audio controller. The plurality of speakers may be in a dipole configuration that cancel sound leakage into a local area of the headset. The controller filters audio content presented by the plurality of speakers to further mitigate leakage of audio content into the local area. The audio determines sound filters based on environmental conditions, such as ambient noise levels, as well as based on the audio content being presented.

Audio assembly with long lever dipoles
11711646 · 2023-07-25 · ·

An audio assembly provides audio content to a user. The audio assembly comprises an elongated body, a diaphragm, a transducer, and a plurality of vent assemblies. The elongated body has a first end and a second end opposite the first end. The diaphragm is within the elongated body and pivots about a pivot location that is proximate the second end. The transducer is within the elongated body and is positioned proximate to the first end. The transducer causes the diaphragm to pivot about the pivot location such that the diaphragm generates a positive acoustic pressure wave from a first surface of the diaphragm and a negative acoustic pressure wave from a second surface of the diaphragm. The plurality of vent assemblies are along one or more surfaces of the elongated body, and are configured to vent the positive acoustic pressure wave and the negative acoustic pressure wave.

ACOUSTIC OUTPUT APPARATUS

The present disclosure discloses an acoustic output apparatus including at least one acoustic driver, a controller, and a supporting structure. The at least one acoustic driver may be configured to output sounds through at least two sound guiding holes. The at least two sound guiding holes may include a first sound guiding hole and a second sound guiding hole.

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.

Acoustic output apparatus

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.
