Lightbulb better audio with a covered speaker

Okay, while playing video with the TP (I would assume audio only files would be no different, but I havent tried).. I noticed that when I cover the speaker with my finger, the range of frequencies (because of the sound being directed back into the device and not out to the side or the top) is alot more audible and the quality of sound increases dramatically.

Can anyone else try this and confirm..?

Re: better audio with a covered speaker

I always put my hand on it to redirect the sound..If that helps any.

Re: better audio with a covered speaker

I noticed that too! I though I was the only one that noticed a difference so I didnt say anything.

Re: better audio with a covered speaker

Im wondering if it would be a practical solution to find a way to cover the speaker at all times.

Only thing I can think of right now is a small strip of electrical tape.. hmm

Re: better audio with a covered speaker

It makes it sound more "surround" to me.

Re: better audio with a covered speaker

^ Exactly, because the sound is now being projected more from the center of the device rather than out of the top or out of the side (which is away from your ears)

Makes me wonder why they didnt pick up on this old concept during development.. the samsung A720 utilized this idea with a small pinhole speaker port on the bottom of the unit for external sound that was meant to be covered while the phone was standing up during playback. Made the audio sound very full and loud.
