Abstract:
Example techniques may involve reduction of turbulence noise from a sound transducer that is mounted within an interior housing of a playback device. An example playback device may include an enclosure comprising a first interior volume and a second interior volume. The playback device may further include a speaker mounted within an interior of the enclosure. The speaker includes a diaphragm dividing the first interior volume and the second interior volume and the speaker is moveable along an axis to generate sound. The playback device may also include a first speaker vent providing airflow between the first interior volume and an exterior of the enclosure and a second speaker vent providing airflow between the first interior volume and the exterior of the enclosure. The first speaker vent directs airflow in a first direction and second speaker vent directs airflow in a second direction.
