An apparatus for reducing noise emitted by an electronic or other device
and such devices incorporating the noise reducing apparatus. A mechanism
for acoustically filtering undesired noise from an electronic device,
particularly noise generated by a cooling mechanism is disclosed. In a
preferred embodiment, noise is filtered at least in part with an
appropriately dimensioned compressible air space. The noise reducing or
filtering mechanism may be utilized with portable and non-portable
computers, stereos, entertainment equipment and other devices.
