A mobile terminal comprising:

• a terminal case including a first case member and a second case member, one of the first case member and the second case member having a microphone hole formed on an outer surface thereof for guiding a sound into the terminal case in a first direction;
• a microphone located within the terminal case, the microphone having a sound receiving portion disposed in a second direction different from the first direction, for receiving the sound;
• and
• a sound guide unit located between the microphone hole and the sound receiving portion of the microphone, the sound guide unit guiding the sound, which has passed through the microphone hole, along the first direction and the second direction, toward the sound receiving portion of the microphone.

A sound guide for a mobile terminal, the mobile terminal having a microphone located on a circuitry supporting substrate within the mobile terminal, the sound guide comprising:

• a sound guide unit located at one side of the circuitry supporting substrate, the sound guide unit including:
• a first guide portion for guiding sound along a first direction;
• and
• a second guide portion for guiding the sound along a second direction different from the first direction toward a sound receiving portion of the microphone.
