Abstract
A mobile device vibrational sound system includes a processing circuit configured to activate a selectively vibratable element based on a triggering event, and control operation of a speaker to provide a mitigation sound configured to at least partially cancel a vibrational sound resulting from activation of the vibratable element.

A mobile device, comprising:
- a processing circuit configured to:
- activate a selectively vibratable element based on a triggering event;
- and
- control operation of a speaker to provide a mitigation sound at least partially cancelling a vibrational sound resulting from activation of the vibratable element.

A mobile device vibrational sound system, comprising:
- a processing circuit configured to:
- receive a first input, the first input based on a vibrational sound;
- determine a mitigation sound based on the first input such that the mitigation sound at least partially cancels the vibrational sound;
- and
- control operation of a speaker to provide the mitigation sound.

A mobile device vibrational sound system, comprising:
- a processing circuit configured to:
- activate a selectively vibratable element based on a triggering event, the activation resulting in a vibrational sound;
- determine a location of the mobile device;
- and
- control operation of a speaker to provide a mitigation sound based on the location of the mobile device;
- wherein the mitigation sound at least partially cancels the vibrational sound.
-73. (canceled)
The system of claim of 76, wherein the processing circuit is configured to determine a location of the mobile device from the plurality of locations based on a comparison of the vibrational sound and the stored vibrational sounds.
