Abstract
A tactile sound device includes a transducer to convert an electrical signal into motion. One or membranes are coupled to the transducer and are adapted to transfer vibrations from the transducer to a user's body. A first sensor monitors the vibrations of the transducer. One or more circuits generate the electrical signal based on a signal received from the first sensor that monitors the vibrations of the transducer.
