Abstract
An electronic device according to various embodiments of the present invention can comprise: a housing including a first plate, a second plate, and a side member surrounding the space between the first plate and the second plate; a processor arranged in the space; a display exposed through a part of the first plate; a communication circuit arranged in the space; a piezoelectric actuator arranged in the space and providing vibration to the first plate; a speaker arranged in the space near the edge of the first plate; an audio processing circuit arranged in the space and electrically connected to the piezoelectric actuator and the speaker; and a memory arranged in the space and electrically connected to the processor. According to various embodiments, when instructions, which can be included by the memory, are executed, the processor wirelessly connects to an external device by using the communication circuit, receives an audio signal through the communication circuit, and provides the audio signal to the audio processing circuit. According to various embodiments, the side member can be separated from or integrated with the second plate. According to various embodiments, the audio processing circuit can provide, to the piezoelectric actuator, a first signal having a first frequency band and can provide, to the speaker, a second frequency band lower than the first frequency band, on the basis of at least a part of the audio signal. Additional various embodiments are possible.
