Abstract
Methods and apparatuses for reduced microphone handling noise are disclosed. In one example, a microphone system includes a microphone to output a microphone output signal and a sensor adapted to output a sensor signal indicating whether the sensor is in proximity to or touching a user finger. A processor is adapted to process the microphone output signal using touch mode signal processing responsive to a determination the sensor is in proximity to or touching the user finger.
