Abstract
This document describes an integrated microphone configuration for reducing electronic and mechanical noise in electronic devices. In aspects, a microphone is integrated within a housing of an electronic device that includes a plurality of electronic components. The housing of the electronic device includes a microphone port that defines a cavity extending from an exterior surface to an interior surface of the housing. The microphone port enables acoustic waves to propagate through the cavity to be detected by the microphone. A waterproof mesh is positioned within the microphone port and defines an interstitial volume between the waterproof mesh and the microphone. A cosmetic mesh is also positioned within the microphone port, above the waterproof mesh. The waterproof mesh and the cosmetic mesh are positioned in such a manner to reduce an electronic and/or mechanical noise originating from electronic components within the electronic device.
