  • Techniques for wind noise reduction
    Patent number: 11245975
    Abstract: Certain aspects of the present disclosure provide an apparatus. The apparatus comprises a support structure comprising at least one microphone sensor, and a first material layer disposed adjacent to the support structure, wherein a first layer of air is formed between the first material layer and the support structure, the first layer of air being adjacent to the microphone sensor. In certain aspects, multiple material layers may be used, each of the material layers forming a layer of air. For instance, the apparatus may also include a second material layer disposed adjacent to the first material layer, wherein a second layer of air is formed between the first material layer and the second material layer.
