Claim 19:
20. An electronic device, comprising:
a housing that defines an exterior surface of the electronic device, the exterior surface having one or more areas that are thinner than adjacent areas;
a sensor operable to detect a touch along the exterior surface;
an array of actuators positioned below a wall of the housing and coupled to the one or more areas that are thinner than adjacent areas; and
a processing unit operably coupled to the sensor and the array of actuators and operable to:
cause movement of a first region of the wall of the housing using the array of actuators to produce an audio output;
