Abstract:
A headphone that may reduce acoustic noise from a tactile vibration driver includes a housing, and an acoustic driver and tactile vibration driver within the housing. The tactile vibration driver is configured to generate tactile vibration sufficient to be felt by a user responsive to the input signal. The headphone also includes a noise cancellation unit coupled with the acoustic driver, the noise cancellation unit configured to: generate an adjustment signal based, at least in part, on a transfer function associated with the tactile vibration driver generating acoustic noise incidental to the tactile vibrations; and adjust the input signal responsive to the adjustment signal to transmit an output signal for reproduction by the acoustic driver. Related methods for operating and making such headphones are also disclosed.

Claim (Index 20):
A method of making one or more headphones, the method comprising:\n determining a fixed, predetermined transfer function of a first tactile vibration driver by measuring acoustic noise generated by the first tactile vibration driver within an enclosure of a first headphone housing the first tactile vibration driver; and producing one or more headphones including:\n an acoustic driver, a tactile vibration driver, and enclosure, each of the one or more headphones having the same fixed, predetermined transfer function as the first tactile vibration driver and the first headphone; \n a filter configured to filter an input signal into a first filtered input signal and a second filtered input signal and to send the second filtered input signal directly to the tactile vibration driver to generate tactile vibration; and \n a noise cancellation unit operably coupled between the filter and the acoustic driver, the noise cancellation unit configured to: \n generate an adjustment signal by passing the input signal through transfer function elements configured based, at least in part, on the fixed, predetermined transfer function; and \n transmit an output signal for reproduction by the acoustic driver responsive to adjusting the first filtered input signal with the adjustment signal.
